There's something eternal about California
home interiors, a bit of the wild, natural style leashed by responsible
domesticity. Writer Saeks has captured the essence of both northern and
southern portions of the state, wisely allowing pictures, not text, to
take center stage. More than 40 homes are displayed visually, gracefully
divided into two urban lifestyles (Los Angeles
and San Francisco), by coastal and country circumstances, and by design
classics. Featured are nests of both the famous and the nearly so;
Diane Keaton's Lloyd Wright home (Frank's son) is contrasted with two
comfortable Sausalito houseboats. Ideas galore, along with the
references--design catalogs, flea markets, and a bibliography--make
imagination live. Barbara Jacobs
