If Hanukkah or Christmas shopping is on your to-do list for the next week or two, you may want to give the gift of appreciation. That is, a gift which will deepen the recipient's fondness for our Corner of the Cats. Here are a few items which I particularly like myself:
(1) Los Gatos Observed: The History and Architecture of Los Gatos, by Alistair Dallas (photos by Peter S. Conrad). Findable at Borders and other local bookstores as well as online via Amazon. This book is a joy to flip through casually or read more in-depth. Great stories & photos.
(2) Los Gatos by Peggy Conway. This is part of the historical photographs book series, all of which I have found to be very well done. Available in bookstores and also on Amazon.
(3) Los Gatos Then & Now by Valerie Archer (DVD). This came out about a year ago. It is available on Amazon but the comments online indicate a 4 - 6 week waiting period. It can also be ordered online to support the Hooked on Los Gatos program (the library and museum project) by clicking here: http://www.lyric.com/video/losgatos/index.htm . I am not sure of their delivery time. It has been available at Border's in Old Town, so my suggestion would be to buy it there. It's a wonderful DVD, very enjoyable to watch.
