Now in paperback, this award-winning book features more than 400 reproductions of postcards depicting the Berkeley area during the early 1900s. The book's chapters include "History of the Postcard," "The City Beautiful," "Picturing the University," "The 1923 Berkeley Fire," "Greetings from Berkeley," as well as chapters on Berkeley neighborhoods, culture and events. The many postcards featured in the book record for posterity the classical buildings that transformed both the University campus and Berkeley's downtown, the homes built in outlying areas after the introduction of the Key System trains and streetcars, the Claremont Hotel in its romantic garden setting, and the events of the day that helped shape Berkeley. Handwritten messages on many of the cards tell fascinating stories and bring these postcards to life. A recipient of the "Certificate of Excellence" from the 33rd Annual Bookbuilders West Book Show.
