Gorgeous Photographs! Delightful Text!,
This review is from: San Diego: Jewel of the California Coast (Paperback)
The most amazing thing about this beautiful book is its cost. It's a magnificent coffee-table size photo album of San Diego and environs and it sells for less than $$. Yes, it's a paperback but the price is still a bargain! The size and the quality of the color photographs bring San Diego to life, as does the charming text by Charlene Baldridge. This is a love letter to a city that is famous for its weather and zoo and underappreciated for its cultural attractions. Ms. Baldridge states in her introduction, "As those who live here [in San Diego] discovered long ago, one visit is not enough, and the second could last a lifetime." What follows is her guided tour of the city: it's Cultural History, Entertainment, Arts and Culture, Nearby Attractions and list of Resources that includes the attraction's name, address, phone number and website. This book is the perfect souvenir for anyone who lives in San Diego, visits San Diego, or dreams about a trip to San Diego.

This review is from: San Diego: Jewel of the California Coast (Paperback)
Northland Publishing offers another visual gem of one of America's great locations...San Diego. A softbound, coffee table size book that is a feast for the eyes and soft on the pocketbook. Jammed packed with amazing photography, you often feel like you have stepped into the locations yourself. Auther, Charlene Baldridge has a genuine love for this city and willing shares all of the wonders this town has to offer. If you are looking to visit or have spent time in San Diego or are one of its citizens, this visual tribute is a must have.
