Illustrated in watercolor, this sketchbook takes an intimate look at California, with images and narration following Cooper up and down the state as he encounters surfers, Hollywood agents, firefighters, rappers, the Mayor of Oakland, archeologists, gardeners, and a host of other real-life characters. The book is organized by locale; in place of a table of contents, there is a map. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
Fun little book of sketches from all around the state, with short commentary about each. Interesting snippets of life that show the variety of people and places that make up California.
