Silicon Valley Handbook,
By Ed Wehde (San Marcos, California) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Moon Handbooks: Silicon Valley (1st Ed.) (Paperback)
This is a very well-researched and well-writen book.As someone who grew up in San Jose, I found the history in the book fascinating. As someone who has not lived in the area for eight years, I found the new information invaluably informative.

It's about time!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Moon Handbooks: Silicon Valley (1st Ed.) (Paperback)
Finally, a great book on the history and exciting places of Silicon Valley. Despite being born and raised in the area, I wasn't familiar with all the places Cheek highlighted. This book is not only informative, but fun and easy to read. If you like to explore and you either live in the Bay Area or will be visiting, this is a "must have" book. Believe me, you'll be glad you bought it.
