California Then and Now - People and Places is a whole new take on
Anova Books' best-selling trademark series.
Featuring images from across the state of California, from San Francisco
in the north to San Diego in the south, it shows how much and how little
has changed over 150 years. With a strong emphasis on the tourist
locations of the state, there are large sections reserved for vintage
photos of San Francisco, LA, Hollywood, Anaheim, Long Beach and San
Diego. The hippy enclaves of Haight Ashbury are featured in glorious
Ektachrome, as are the early rides of Disneyland from the 1950s. There
are match-ups for the most famous sign in the world, Hollywood, plus
forays into the famous surfing locations. Packaged in a smaller format
than any other Then and Now, the text has been stripped back to small
captions to allow the amazing collection of past and present photos to
speak for themselves.
