.,."intriguing...worthwhile and engaging reading for a wide set of
California and southwest historians, scholars of culture, and those
interested in the workings of memory."
""The San Diego World's Fairs" is a fascinating examination of the
role the fairs played in the development of California's 'culture
of abundance'. . . eminently readable."
"Bokovoy's book is groundbreaking. It does not seek to sell San
Diego to tourists, but to examine how we first began to sell
ourselves to tourists, and what our contradictory myths of origin
mean. It is a story for a mature city that can look to its history
for a deeper understanding of local identity."
"Thought-provoking and engaging in its prose, this book will not
disappoint."
