His first original book in nearly thirty years, but also sadly his last, Back Roads to the California Coast is Earl Thollander's final tribute to the back roads in his beloved home state. "One can live a lifetime in California and not know it," Thollander said, and then he set out with traveling partner and co-author Herb McGrew to depict fifteen of the state's most enchanting scenic byways, those that travel to and along the coast. With full-color illustrations throughout in Thollander's inimitable style, and described with engaging narrative by McGrew, these drives are through country that is stunning and dramatic: the mystical Ojai Valley to Ventura; Carmel Valley to Big Sur; and the wine-lover's favorite, Highway 128 through Napa Valley to Mendocino. No other California guidebook is organized using roads to the coast, which makes this the perfect gift for anyone devoted to the enjoyment of meandering about the Golden State.

Presents 65 desert trips from Bishop to the Mexican border, including expanded coverage of popular destinations such as Death Valley National Park, Mojave National Preserve, and Anza-Borrego Desert State Park. This book makes high-walled canyons, lonely ghost towns, and soaring peaks from Mexico to the Great Basin easily accessible to recreational drivers. Tony Huegel's glove-box-sized Byways have been leading drivers to the hidden surprises found along unpaved backroads for more than 10 years. These books are for recreational drivers who want to use their four-wheel-drive or sport-utility vehicle beyond the pavement to explore, but who might not want to do hard-core or lengthy off-road driving. They are also for adventurers who use these trips as jumping-off points for muscle-powered exploration, such as hiking and mountain biking.

California Before the Freeways A Pictorial History of California's Highways 1912-1919 A 214 page picture-rich book showing people and automobiles along highways, byways, and wood plank roads in California between 1912 -1919. Pictures shows bygone tourist routes, vistas, antique cars, dirt and desert wood plank roadways, old cities and towns, and the people instrumental in getting California's highways built over "Hill-and-DALE." "The State Highway Commission, overcoming its great native modesty, called attention to the fact that it was at present financially embarrassed and that unless some extraordinary legislation was developed it would be 'tee-totally busted' before funds could be derived from the proposed bond issue, which, under existing laws, could not be voted upon before the fall of 1920 at the general election, a lapse of time which might just as well be a century so far as present pecuniary needs were concerned. And then arose a Moses with his rod and smote the rock and funds poured forth. Attorney General Webb was the man who finally evolved the plan of amending the constitution of California to provide a further sum of $40,000,000 for State Highway construction by the sale of bonds, the one election serving the double purpose of amending the constitution of the state of California and providing $40,000,000 for more roads. Immediately upon the setting of July 1 as the date for the election, the California Good Roads Campaign Committee was formed, with L. A. Nares of Fresno as chairman, the vice-chairmen being Francis Carr of Redding and Henry W. Keller of Los Angeles, while joint secretaries were named as follows: D. E. Watkins, manager California State Automobile Association, San Francisco; John F. Shea, secretary Northern California Hotel Men's Association; E. W. Casson, secretary Southern California Hotel Men's Association; and Standish L. Mitchell, secretary Automobile Club of Southern California. This book is based on the wonderful and classic out-of-print book "California Highways" by Ben Blow 1920.
