SoCal Landmarks Publication #1

The first book from SoCal Landmarks is now available! It features the images from our 31 Days of Historic Preservation series of posts during the month of May, 2022, to support and promote the annual Preservation Month started by the National Trust for Historic Preservation.

But wait, there’s more! We are working on a similar book for our support of Preservation Month in 2023 which should be available by the end of the month.

And starting in July, we will start new 31 Days of… series featuring landmarks in Los Angeles County, Orange County, Victorian and Queen Anne landmarks, Art Deco and Streamline Moderne landmarks and more starting on the 1st of each month. Each series will be used to produce another book. We have plans for nine books so far.

These 8.5″ x 8.5″ softcover photo books are printed with premium colors on 80# stock. We’ve priced them so with shipping, handling and tax, each book comes out to about $20 – the poor man’s coffee table book.

A portion of the proceeds from this and every book will be donated to local organizations working to protect and preserve historical landmarks in Southern California.
