A LITTLE ADVICE FROM THE EDITOR: BUY A COPY OF THIS BOOK FOR YOURSELF AND ANOTHER FOR A FRIEND
Since we are doing Varda I want to put in a plug for a great book: The Art and Life of Jean Varda by Elzabeth Leavey Stroman. Besides being about Varda there is info about his friendship with Druid Heights’ Roger Somers and Alan Watts. It is lavishly illustrated, in part because of the cooperation of Varda’s family.
This book was a true labor of love by its author. I had the pleasure of meeting her last year at a book event in Sausalito, CA where I was asked by her to speak about Druid Heights connection to Varda for a few minutes.
Not only did she do a huge amount of research and writing, she hired, on her own dime, professional book designers to help her assemble the text and graphics into a beautiful book. It is both a good read and a good “take a casual look” coffee table book with an eye catching cover
Using the link below to go to the book’s webpage where you can purchase it directly for $43.45. You can also get it as a special order through your local bookstore or order it through Amazon. I’d do it directly from Stroman because that way she gets the most money, and even at $40+ shipping she said she was making nothing, just recouping some of her costs.
Here is the link to her page:
