California is the most populous state and includes four of the top 15 locations in Forbes magazine’s list of most-visited cities. It has something for everyone, and this book offers up a splendid sampling:
Majestic redwood groves and miles of sandy beaches The many charms of wine country Spectacular Yosemite and rugged Big Sur The magic of Disneyland Hollywood’s glitz and glamour The landmark cities of San Francisco, Los Angeles and San Diego And much more.
California showcases the sunny state in truly stunning fashion.
Delightful photo book about the Golden State I’ve seen a few travel and history videos about California (America by Rail, Rudy Maxa, and so on), and this book nicely supplements my knowledge and experience of this state.The color photos are fantastic. So much to appreciate about California. I’ve heard it’s a top destination for Europeans, for example, the Danish (whose descendants also have the Solvang museum). More generally, I think of California as being a blend of the “Left Coast” and “Far West” cultural regions, as described…
Meh Many sight seeing attractions included. Photos are dull, does not give the beauty inCalifornia any justice.
The Golden State This was the perfect gift to bring to Japan for someone who has never been to California- she really got a chance to see what my great state has to offer!
