AWESOME HISTORICAL MASTERPIECE!

"Big Sur Inn" is a magnificent legacy book that will endure forever as a tribute to Deetjen and special treat to many who will never be blessed to travel to the Inn. The author not only did justice to Deetjen, but created an interesting collection of photographs certain to please even the most discerning of readers. This book should be in every library and bookstore, and on YOUR own coffee table at home. You will pick it up and look through it over and over. You won't be diappointed. Bravo!

This is a lovely exploration of a favorite getaway in Big Sur

A frozen moment in time

In the late 50s, early 60s...I had the good fortune to stumble into this Simple Inn.... Poppa Deetjen and Ed quietly made all travelers welcome. It truly is one of those very unique places where time literally stands still. Nothing changes, if anything, it gets better, each time you visit. Anita Alan has captured the very essance of of ALL that the Inn is about, she has stimulated my senses so, that I can taste, feel and re-experience my past times.... Her writing will most definetly stimulate you into to visiting, an enjoying your own experience..I GAR-RON-TEE ! !

What a wonderful view into the past of a famous landmark! Ms. Alan's poetry and prose made me feel as if I were a witness to each event. I can't wait to vist the inn on my next trip to Big Sur.
