protected in a mylar book cover. OVERSIZE! No priority/international, except by special arrangement. "At the heart of California Romantica is the vision -- and admitted obsession -- of a committed preservationist who as a girl fell in love with the colonial-era and Spanish Colonial Revival architecture of Southern California. In her introduction to the book, Diane Keaton puts it quite succinctly: 'I knew I wanted to share the magic I'd felt within the aura created by the presence of Spanish architecture in Southern California...I wanted to capture the romance of an empty room. I wanted to focus on details, a fountain, a staircase, a doorway. I wanted to highlight the genre's disjointed symmetry, and informal, abstract appeal. I wanted the drama of light to reveal secrets that lay hidden beyond the facades. I wanted 'old' and 'Spanish' to stop being code words for demolition. I wanted us to give renewed vitality, and even a refined Modernism, to the historic dream of living in a perfect California Spanish home.' California Romantica is an expression of wonder and an ode to an extraordinary tradition in architecture marked by white-washed stucco and plaster walls, wrought iron, arches, towers, balconies, patios, terraces, window grills, tile work, stout doors; houses enveloped by and frequently cast in profound shadow and light; houses that are at once meditations on the past and also abiding evocations of a way of life that is so much of the present." -- Publisher.
