Architecture 101: Palm Springs, California and Desert Cities was researched and written by PSPF board members Ron & Barbara Marshall who have authored several Class 1 Historic Site nominations for the city of Palm Springs.

This soft-touch 88-page booklet, with concealed Wire-O binding and accompanying maps, helps the user design a self-driving tour of architecturally significant buildings in the local area. The guide contains both new and historic photographs, architectural renderings, and vintage postcard images.

Architecture 101 is a major update of the sold-out Architecture 100 (published in 2017) and not only includes newly-designated historic resources but also features an identification guide of local concrete screen block patterns. Already a best-seller, this indispensable guide is a favorite of tourists and locals alike.
