Full Description

The small towns and villages of America's Golden State are perennial travellers favourites. Much larger than many other American states, California seems like a whole country in itself, with a nations worth of scenery: rugged sierras, fog-laced headlands, golden beaches, and rolling oakstudded ranch land. This book showcases the most picturesque small places of California through Nik Wheelers stunning photography and the perceptive commentaries of leading California travel writer, Joan Tapper. This superb celebration of one of the most varied of American states is rounded out by lists of essential tourism information and of places to stay and eat.
