I loved every page...bought it for a friend but keeping it for myself!! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Approachable for any level of interest. *by M***Y on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 16, 2012* My copy of Peter Moruzzi's last gem just arrived and come September I'll have a complete set!!While more moderate in scope than his book "Havana...", a bible for those interested in the socio-political construct that was Havana before the Cuvan Revolution, "Palm Springs Holiday" offers the subject matter the same in-depth treatment, absolutely saturating the reader in the culture and color of the time.This gorgeous tome BRIMS with fabulous images and stories, serving in many cases as the sole unifying historical record of a time and place that was such an incredibly massive part of the "American Experience" of the period.Moruzzi, an art historian and expert on mid-century 'modern' architecture, sprinkles architectural history throughout every chapter of the book, offering lively discussion on styles from Spanish Colonial Revival to Rustic Ranch, but his chapter dedicated to 'Desert Modern' styles and techniques, influences that would become so very prominent in much if the rest of the country in the third quarter of the century, provides the reader with a depth of understanding uncommon in what may initially be seen as a coffee-table book.Whether intentional or not, Mr. Moruzzi treats this subject with more personal input than his previous book. That is to say, one gets a sense, going from page-to-page, less of reading an historical analysis on the art and architecture of the times, and more like they are listening to an educational newsreel (possibly one produced by the Chamber of Commerce?) on the Coachella Valley area. If this rowdy, delicious book had been assembled by anyone else I don't think it would have come off as well as it did, but the author does such a splendid job of setting the stage and pulling the characters together (the hotels, the visionaries, the scenery) that it would almost seem academically-heavy if not for his occasional tongue-in-cheek observations. .Why not 5 stars? Simply put, while a terrifically interesting look at a colorful, sometimes pivotal, often kitschy period of sun, fun, and fashion, I don't personally see it as a 5-star subject, and that's okay. Mr. Moruzzi's presentation through photos and stories truly brings this corner of history to life. The book is just a joy, and makes me anxious for his next offering. (Which I've already per-ordered, by the way...) ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Historic Palm Springs and Its Past Personalities *by J***N on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 18, 2021* I gave this 4 stars because I was hoping for more shots of downtown PS. This book focuses on personalities and the few key famous venues / hotels from primarily the 40's and 50's. A little bit on the tram, and the surrounding communities to the east and Desert Hot Springs to the N, including a brief discussion of Cabot's Old Indian Lodge. I liked the areas included, but would have preferred a greater variety of pictures of each of the areas' businesses. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.jp/products/3317933-palm-springs-holiday-a-vintage-tour-from-palm-springs-to](https://www.desertcart.jp/products/3317933-palm-springs-holiday-a-vintage-tour-from-palm-springs-to) --- *Product available on Desertcart Japan* *Store origin: JP* *Last updated: 2026-11-01*
