A
HISTORY OF SARATOGA'S LIBRARIES
by Willys Peck
A
history and a work of art
|
This book was the brainchild
of James Givens who, at the time plans were formulating for the
expansion of the Saratoga Community Library, wanted the library's
rich history to be recorded and preserved. Givens, on behalf
of the Friends of the Saratoga Libraries, asked Mr. Willys Peck,
journalist, attorney, author and local historian, to write the
book.
Givens then engaged The Arts and Crafts Press of Berkeley (now
Olalla, Washington) to design and print the book. The artwork,
including the beautiful title page, decorations and motifs are
by Yoshiko Yamamoto. Photographs include two of the Village Library
taken by Ansel Adams, friend of the building's architect, Eldridge
(Ted) Spencer. The binding is cloth on board, with leather spine,
plus printed endpapers.
This slip-cased, numbered, limited edition is signed by the author,
and is available exclusively at the Friends' Book-Go-Round. The
price is $50. |
