Most Informative !

The photography in the book is "Breathtaking" ! Learned so much about my new home , California , early architecture ! A great help for restoring homes here in Southern California !

California Romantica

Classic!, Like a fine wine or a beautiful woman over 40 this book captures the essence of the Spanish architecture along the California coast. Must read for any historian doing restorations. Builder and designor alike will enjoy.

five stars

Truly beautiful. It is so beautifully presented that seeing the real thing might be a let down. It was after the second go through that I realized that there is no presentation of the actual house itself. It's not a this- is- the- living- room- and- this- is- the- kitchen presentation. It is all visual on an emotional level. The authors did a great job.

Truly Lovely Book

This is, without a doubt, the most beautiful book I have ever purchased. The photographs are both artistic and illustrative. The text is informative and interesting, while being both scholarly and accessible. Califonia Romantica is exquisite in every detail.

" Diane Keaton's new book, "California Romanica" is a Work of Art !

Speaking as both an artist and a collector of books on Spanish Revival Architecture, I can truly say that Diane Keaton's new book on Spanish Architecture is fabulous! Ms. Keaton and her photographer really captured the unique and splendid features of the style. They have isolated both quiet and monumental vignettes from the homes featured. I would love to see a second book done on other homes. I am building a Spanish Rivival home in Southern Baja and have done alot of research on this style of architecture. Thank you Ms. Keaton.
