everybody's favourite state. The new edition of this travel guide,
completely revised in 2012 and with hundreds of specially commissioned
photos, gives detailed coverage of all the best attractions, with
full-colour mapping and plenty of practical information to help you get
around.

New chapters on California cuisine, touring the wine
