From the Inside Flap

Welcome to The County of Orange, Center of Southern California, premier edition. This visual monograph (a documented pictorial account and/or description of a particular subject) illustrates the County's position as the heart of Southern California-both geographically and as the centerpiece of the Southern California experience. It's designed to expand your own images of this great County, while showcasing some of the community's Local Color-gracious people and fine businesses-which represents a significant part of the distinctive local experience. In this first edition, each showcased recommendation can be easily found in the guide on pages 90 and 91.

The County of Orange is a vast and diverse community. While giving you a comprehensive overview of what it is to live here in the Center of Southern California, we know there is much we have been unable to include. As we continue with new editions, we look forward to evolving this monograph to incorporate even more of this grand County's diversity and grandeur. Your comments would be greatly appreciated.

THe County of Orange Center of Southern California pictorial book illuminates the colorful Orange County lifestyle offering the reader a vibrant view of the incomparable landscape and seascape panoramas, as well as the dynamics of the vast commercial, social and industrial enterprises in the greater Orange County. The true beauty lies in every single untouched photo presenting the flavor, texture and sensation of the epicenter of west coast culture, beauty, sophistication and lifestyle.

A terrific millenium memory book which captures an indelible glimpse of our indescribeable Orange County culture and a treasure to be saved for future generations.
