Summary: Fun, fun, fun... let's have more from Charles Phoenix!
Comment: This book is, well, fun for anyone with a Los Angeles childhood, like me. However, for anyone who loves kitsch and Californiana, this book is well worth the price. Sun, Fun and Fantasy" takes an indulgent, loving look at a time and place that's largely been torn down and paved over. The author gets more than five stars from me for his accuracy--I couldn't find one error, based on my memory, my extensive reading about California, and yes, my picture postcard collection!

My hope is that this author will produce follow-up volumes from the '60s and '70s.

Rating: 5
Summary: Excellent - great fun!
Comment: Our library just added this book to their collection and I began reading it out of curiousity. It's fabulous - filled with great pictures and chock full of unique facts. Reading it made me feel like I stepped back in time. Great coffee table or gift book.

Rating: 5
Summary: Just A Great Book On A Fun Subject!
Comment: Wow! If you've seen Charles Phoenix' slide shows, you know how dedicated he is to mid-century Southern California. He loves it, but he can also laugh at it. It's a perfect coffee table book, in fact it's on my coffee table right now. One-of-a-kind photos galore (many from discarded family slides found in thrift shops), along with fun, informative text. Buy this book. See his shows. Enjoy life!
