THE CALIFORNIA FEELING: A Personal View
Edition: First printing.
Garden City, New York: Doubleday, 1969. dj. SIGNED hardcover first edition - Back in the late 60's, Beagle and photographer Michael Bry spent a year traveling around California in a 1957 Volkswagon van, and this book, a very personal picture of a special time in California's history, was the result. In addition to Bry's black and white photographs, it includes color photos by Ansel Adams, Philip Hyde and others. Some things - like the hippies at Ben Lomond - have gone forever, others - like some of the small towns - have barely changed. SIGNED by Beagle on the title page. Large format, 252 pages.
Condition: Ex-library but with relatively few markings ('discard' on rear endpaper, tape ghosts, signs of pocket removal) and overall tight and clean in a good only dust jacket with several closed tears to the top edge and other wear.
