Art Towns book series
Browsing in the library today I stumbled across an interesting book:
Art Towns California: Communities Celebrating Creativity: Festivals, Galleries, Museums, Dining & Lodging, by John Villani.
Beyond interest in the book itself, it struck me that it might be part of a series. And, indeed it is. Although it is a very short series. No matter, it's still a good one.
The 100 Best Art Towns in America: A Guide to Galleries, Museums, Festivals, Lodging & Dining, by John Villani
This is Villani's best known book.
The DEL-100 Best Small Art Towns in America: Discover Creative Communities, Fresh Air, and Affordable Living, by John Villani
Another version of this book, with the words The DEL in front of it, but I haven't quite yet discerned the difference. The main ones seem to be a focus on living in creative communities (versus just visiting art collections) and the inclusion of some Canadian cities (yeah!). I have no idea what 'The DEL' refers to.
I plan to take a closer look at these books, to see what gems they offer, and may review them in the future.
Unfortunately, the author has failed to renew his website, as arttowns.com brings up a URL for sale. That's a shame, I was thinking it would have some pretty good resources.
