Southland Fifties Nostalgia; Mid-Century Advertising Graphics
Southland Fifties Nostalgia
Best-selling author, historian and performance artist Charles Phoenix follows up his remarkable hit book Southern California in the '50s with an even more remarkable Kodachrome study of the world that existed between Santa Barbara and San Diego in the ’40s, ’50s and ’60s. His retro slide tour takes readers to places they never dreamed existed, and our guide tags along with amateur photographers who snapped the best of Southern California. This book will not be published until May, but you can reserve your copy now: a special opportunity available only to KPCC contributors during our Spring fund drive.
