Description
by John Stark (Author)
Introducing the 2026 print and Kindle edition of "What to See in Palm Springs," the best-selling, must-have guidebook for anyone visiting or living in or around this desert resort city. This guidebook - What to See in Palm Springs, Local Tour Guide Tells All: Sights, History & Stories - was conceived and written by writer, journalist, tour guide and historian John Stark, a full-time Palm Springs resident. This latest version includes new sites, info, updates, chapters and photographs. With 300 pages and 200 photographs, many vintage, the book provides an A-to-Z look at everything you'll want to see here and more.
John's in-depth research and reporting takes you behind the scenes of the sites you're seeing. To ensure accuracy, he worked with the Palm Springs Historical Society and the Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians, who vetted the book As a seasoned journalist with a master's in history, Mr. Stark strives to separate truth from wive's tales.
What to See in Palm Springs includes John's one-on-one interviews with innovative architects who have made Palm Springs the modernist capital of the world. The book delves into Palm Springs' celebrity past with discussions and photographs of the stars' lives and homes here. (John personally interviewed many of these legends.) This guidebook will introduce you to the pioneering women who founded this desert resort, feminists long before their time. Dozens of historical photos add to the book's knowledge and enjoyment. Included is a front-of-the-book historical overview and chronology, and a back-of-the-book map. There's even a never-before-published photograph of Marilyn Monroe being discovered here at the legendary Racquet Club.
What to See in Palm Springs is a guidebook like no other!
