"At the beginning of the automobile age, in that most car crazy of places, Southern California, roadways were dotted with eye-catching beacons for travelers. Diners shaped like chili bowls, pigs, and coffee pots; hotels and theaters in Aztec and Mayan motifs; and all manner of oddly shaped buildings were part of the Western architectural landscape - a trend that spread across the country. California Crazy & Beyond: Roadside Venacular Architecture is the most thorough documentation of this ususual architectural style, and a greatly enhanced, fully revised version of the classic book that first explored the movement."--BOOK JACKET.
