Exploring Southern California: 80 Outings for the Urban Adventurer is a fun travel book with a unique format. Each outing is laid out with a convenient, two-page format – summary, background, itinerary, map and nearby attractions. Busy folks can choose their outing, grab the book and go! With over 500 captioned, color photos covering six counties from Santa Barbara to San Diego, the book is a delight to read. With Hoffman’s background as a tour guide, teacher, and urban planner, Exploring Southern California is much more than a touristy beach guide. The book’s appendices on architectural styles, walking streets, historic preservation, and trivia quizzes make it intellectually engaging and a reference you’d return to repeatedly.
