Stunning Pictures,

This review is from: Santa Monica Beach: A Collector's Pictorial History (Hardcover)
Oh, what a beautiful collection of our history here in Santa Monica. One is transported through the century of adventure, discovery and fun as the community grows and changes shape. I felt that I could be there, back in time, if just for a few minutes, with several of the photographs... and the excellent copy. Great to see the original Flash Gordon, Buster Crab, when he was just a swimmer at the beach, like one might be today. Thank you for publishing this collection.

This review is from: Santa Monica Beach: A Collector's Pictorial History (Hardcover)
I grew up in Santa Monica, lived there from the early 50s to 1980. In those days, much of the early history of this wonderful town was still clearly visible. Ernest Marquez has done a wonderful job in writing about the evolution of this beautiful area. For me, he brought back many pleasant memories of my childhood in this town. Marquez has a fine way with his words, and has spread the stories among a nice large collection of photographs. The pace of this book between text and photographs flows nicely. I did not expect to read it cover to cover, but indeed found myself looking forward to reading another chapter every evening before bed. The book is in a quality binding, with good quality paper, and excellent reproduction quality of the photographs. This book is definitely the best one of several books currently available on Santa Monica.

Great gift for those who are newly arrived or have lived here in another life. Many of the photos are very rare.
The area has a rich history that is capturered in these photos. Highly recommended .
