Review Quotes: This set of volumes is as much a beautiful product of the book arts as it is an indispensable reference for anyone interested in the arts in California. The illustrations are exquisitely reproduced, the design respects the fine-press traditions referenced throughout, and the paper, binding and indeed all of the production values are, like the contents, a worthy tribute to Paul Landacre's art and life. This is what publishers should aspire to, but mostly will not, or cannot.--Edward R. Bosley, Hon. AIA, Executive Director Emeritus, The Gamble House Conservancy
