My good friend, Palm Springs Mod Com founder and "Havanna Before Castro" author Peter Moruzzi is signing his new tome, PALM SPRINGS HOLIDAY this Saturday, October 17th, 4 to 7 pm JUST FABULOUS Books
There are many books out on Palm Springs now, but none is such a feast for the vintage paper ephemera lover. Pete has amassed one the most extensive collections of 20t Century postcards, brochures, matchbooks and art on that town, and much of it illustrates the pages of this book. From Motels to resorts to eateries to nightclubs,

..and put on HUGE Luaus:
One of my favorite images is of this Waltah Clarke store:
If you love mid-century American architecture and design, this book is for you. There's even a chapter on the Salton Sea!
