I've always loved the travel ads of the late 1940's and this book has only fueled my passion for them. I have a decent collection of what I think are the best Southern California travel ads of the era and hope to put together both a website and a book to feature them. Email me if you're interested in further developments on this (jff_77 at yahoo). The website will be the first step. Thanks, Taschen, for offering these great books!
