Southern California Country: An Island on the Land

New York: Duell, Sloan & Pearce. Very Good+. (c.1946). First Edition. Hardcover. (no dust jacket) [a good sound copy, light wear to extremities, a few tiny light stains on fore-edge, one-time owner's name at top of front endpaper]. (American Folkways) Series (endpaper maps) A classic portrait of Southern California -- an indispensable work, frequently cited (including as the inspirational source for Robert Towne's screenplay for CHINATOWN) and quoted, and for good reason. If you live in Los Angeles and have never taken the time to read this book, I gently suggest that you either do so, or go back to wherever you came from. . (Inventory #: 29760)
