This review is from: Orange County: Views of the Past & Present (Hardcover)
I am a native of and have grown up in Orange County, so I have experienced the changes that have taken place in one of America's fastest growing areas. In fact, I'm old enough to relate to some of the "past" pictures more than some of the "present" pictures. I bought this book as a Christmas treat for my mother last year. She remembers the days when the Segerstroms, a family very socially prominent in Orange County through their ownership of South Coast Plaza mall, grew lima beans on that very property. This book beautifully captures the essence of what Orange County was and has become. In fact, compared to San Diego, which was covered in a book in the same series which I also reviewed, you have to count more on the pictures to actually know what existed in Orange County in the old days.

Orange County Views of the Past & Present,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Orange County: Views of the Past & Present (Hardcover)
This is a great book of excellent photographs of all of the cities and key areas in Orange County, California. Having been born in Orange County and having visited all of the areas photographed both back then and now, it provides the kind of memories one treasures.
