A Wonderful Book, Aug 23 2004
By A Reader - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: My California: Journeys by Great Writers (Paperback)
This is an amazing collection of essays and the point of the book is not just to provide eloquent perspectives on the state. Every cent that the publisher receives in revenue goes directly to the California Arts Council,whose budgets were cut by 97%. When you buy a "used" book none of that money goes to CAC. Please think twice about saving the 40ish cents.
This book is a good read and you will feel very good about your deed!

I loved this book (and I normally don't read short stories), Sep 1 2005

I loved this book too, as I see others have, and this prompted me to write a review. I have tried to give it as a gift whenever possible and will continue to do so, as I think it is a great idea to benefit CAC. I wish local bookstores would display it more prominently. I grew up in California but this book allowed me a personal look at histories from different corners of the state. Fascinating, well written and truly enjoyable.

This is a terrific collection of writing about California from a spectrum of outstanding authors. AND it's for a good cause.
