I was looking for a book with photos of the Monterey Peninsula, as I am considering relocation to the area and wanted to know what the peninsula looks like. This book provides a good variety of lovely aerial views that show off the region and essentially met my expectations. (I actually hope the photos don't do the area justice!) The photo captions provide some history of the features in the photographs, but I would prefer more description of all the things I'm seeing. Although, that would mean less room for the pictures! My only real beef with the book is a lack of a table of contents, which would make flipping to the right section/region easier.

Well I am always amazed at how well Robert Cameron's photos turn out. These pictures are breath taking. I'm fortunate enough to live close to Monterey and to enjoy the beauty. These photos are great as I can see where i've been from a different perspective. Everything is there from Salinas (which has changed a bit since photo was taken) to Carmel to Big Sur. All photos are wonderful and has sentences explaining what you are looking at. Great value too ...!

If you love the Central Coast and Monterey Bay to Big Sur, then you'll want this book. Out of print, so buy it when you can. Even though I live here, it is on my coffee table and I look through it for inspiration and in appreciation of where I get to live. I'd prefer the hardbound, but got a pristine used copy of the softbound, once used as a real estate agent's give-away.

If this is not one of the most beautiful places of earth, I don't know what is. I have always been a huge fan of Robert Cameron's work, he is just nothing short of an amazing talent. This book features some of his most spectacular work. Quite frankly, it would be hard to make this amazingly beautiful place look anything less than awe inspiring, but Cameron actually makes it more breathtaking, I find myself picking up this book from time to time just to remember that there are places this incredible. This is a wonderful book on an amazing place and I highly recommend it to anyone who appreciates great beauty and god given talent.

We live in this area and love it! Great photos! Our house is in one of them....or the old house before the remodel.
