Book excerpt: Pacific Grove, in the pine forests on the westernmost tip of Monterey Bay, is a magnet for wildlife, tourists, and scientists. Site of the first operational lighthouse in California and the first marine laboratory on the Pacific Coast, its beaches attracted camp meetings in the 19th century. Rows of tent housing that lined the original streets grew into charming neighborhoods of seaside cottages, lit annually by the Feast of Lanterns since 1905. Botanical and biological splendor attracted scientists like Edward Flanders Ricketts, made famous by his friend and one-time Pacific Grove resident John Steinbeck. Each year hundreds of groups use its famous conference center, Asilomar, and each fall tens of thousands of Monarch butterflies make a 2,500-mile journey to hang from the pines in great clusters of wafting wings.

Book excerpt: Life in Pacific Grove: Book 2 makes deeper connections to our community through special essays by local authors, in areas of their own interests--plus personal stories. With these stories, the "Butterfly Effect" continues to transform us, and as the monarchs make part of their transformation in our Butterfly Sanctuary, and as we write and share our stories with each other, we all become something more beautiful than before. I hope you enjoy what we have put together--for you and for the generations to come. I'm a firm believer in the power of story to change our lives, the lives of people around us, and those of future generations. Thank you all for your story contributions to the Pacific Grove Books and to our beloved City of Pacific Grove, Butterfly Town U.S.A. - Patricia Hamilton, 2018 Life In Pacific Grove, California, Book 2 CONTENTS "The Butterfly Effect" Revisited - Patricia Hamilton vii Section 1- SPANNING GENERATIONS 1 With our quaint Victorians and a major annual event called "Good Old Days," Pacific Grove is obviously a town with one foot planted firmly in the past. But we Pagrovians have always had the other foot just as firmly anchored in the now, facing the future. Explore a few of our beloved local traditions and institutions: the library, Feast of Lanterns, the real person behind Robert Down Elementary School, the night Paris came to P.G., and more. Section 2 - THOSE HIPPIE TRIPPY 1970s 62 Tune in, turn on and go trippin' for a heady look at the 1970s, when Pacific Grove boasted the largest collection of hippies between San Francisco and Los Angeles. From hootenannies to the Monterey International Pop Music Festival to the early days of Tillie Gort's, it's a groove, Daddy-o! Section 3 - A WRITER'S DREAM TOWN 108 Beautiful scenery to tempt the muse ... a good, dependable local bookstore and library ... a lively coffee house scene ... kindred spirits for support and encouragement ... and a rich literary tradition. When it comes to meeting the needs of a writer, Pacific Grove is the ideal haven. Section 4 - DEEPER CONNECTIONS AROUND TOWN 160 Where else but Pacific Grove could you find a falconer on the city payroll, or a life-size sculpture of a gray whale, or a business with a name that translates to "textile zoo"? All this and more to interest and intrigue you as we take a stroll around town. Section 5 - ADVENTURES ON MONTEREY BAY 248 From a calm day on the rocky shores at Perkins Park to the panic on a stranded boat at the mouth of the bay, explore sea life in the depths of the Great Canyon, experience a life or death encounter with a sea lion, and cook up the tastiest fish you'll ever eat. Section 6 - spirits in motion 268 Feeding the soul, nurturing the body--Pagrovians find a balanced spiritual life through our many houses of worship, mindfulness of our origins, and a gentle and ancient movement.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At one time, it was the biggest department store between San Francisco and Los Angeles, with orders pouring in from all over the nation. John Steinbeck immortalized it in the pages of Cannery Row. And it all happened in a quiet village on the California coast. Step into the legendary Holman's Department Store and meet its remarkable owner, Wilford Rensselaer Holman, in My Life in Pacific Grove. Follow Mr. Holman from his arrival in Pacific Grove as a small boy in 1888, through his years of transforming his father's modest dry-goods store into a local retail giant, to his final triumph with the dedication of the W.R. Holman Highway in 1972. Of particular interest to Steinbeck enthusiasts are never-before-published letters exchanged between Steinbeck and Mr. Holman's wife, Zena, showcasing the Nobel laureate's wry and self-deprecating humor. My Life in Pacific Grove is based on Mr. Holman's memoir, edited and annotated by his great-granddaughter-in-law, Heather Lazare, and includes more than 150 rare, historic photographs, news clippings and ephemera. Through these pages, you'll ride the Santa Claus Special, visit the world's largest holly farm, and discover the real story behind the fabled flagpole skater. A must-read for local history buffs, My Life in Pacific Grove is sure to delight both life-long residents and newcomers to Butterfly Town, USA.

Book excerpt: Erma Bombeck and Elaine Breen have more in common than their initials. If you enjoyed Erma, you'll find Elaine delightful.

An exciting and refreshing new voice! It is Elaine's particular world view -- seeing normal day-to-day events with a twist, humor, and irony -- that brings life into her writing. This book is a treat that will lighten your heart and remind you not to take life too seriously.
