Marin: The Place, the People

by Jane Futcher

Marin County in California, whose western shores are flanked by the Pacific and whose eastern shores are formed by San Francisco Bay, has been satirized and stereotyped and the so-called Marin life-style has entered into contemporary mythology - hot tubs, peacock feathers, marijuana plants on the redwood deck, bean sprouts n the salad. Now, the actual Marin, as it is and as it was, is celebrated in a magnificently beautiful book that does full justice to the place itself in all its astonishing variety - sea, mountain, farmland, isolated villages, commuter suburbs, and to the remarkable diversity of people fortunate enough to live there. For anyone who has lived in or visited Marin or intends to visit there - after reading and looking at The Place, The People - or simply as a book to daydream over, this handsome assemblage of text and pictures should prove irresistible.
