Excellent book on mid-century retreat town
I bought this book after a visit to Palm Springs. It is a very interesting book on the history of Palm Springs from the 30's and shows it's development from a small town to a resort town. It covers not only the fabulous homes of the rich & famous from the 50's but also hotel and shopping developments, their architects and their stories. Beautifully illustrated, the book also covers the faded Salton Sea resort and it's trailer parks. I find myself returning to this book again and again, it's great.
