Casa California: Spanish-Style Houses from Santa Barbara to San Clemente by Elizabeth Jean McMillian, Melba Levick, Elizabeth Jean McMillan, David Gebhard Hardcover - 208 pages (May 1996) Rizzoli ISBN: 0847818500 Former Architectural Digest editor McMillian and photographer Melba Levick take great pains to allow each of these 21 southern California houses a chance to show off without being constrained by undue fuss over their past and present owners. Exteriors and interiors are displayed in sharply focused color, furnishings are described, and a sense of the original architect's intended statement is conveyed. Many of the homes have been converted into museums; still, their architecture amply shows the good and bad sides of Spanish style. Barbara Jacobs
