<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Following the success of Quirky Berkeley, arbiter of the eccentric (The New York Times) Tom Dalzell returns to take readers on a tour of even more artwork that peppers the proudly idiosyncratic Northern California city. Stroll along iconic Telegraph Avenue for views of painted-metal portrait sculptures of figures ranging from Rasputin to Mario Savio-even Heyday's founder, Malcolm Margolin-at the Mad Monk Center for Anachronistic Media. Hike up Marin for views of the steel skeleton forever riffing on a tenor saxophone. Dalzell points out murals honoring the Sandinistas and bas-relief sculptures of legendary Oakland Athletics on the home of a member of the Great Tortilla Conspiracy. And just where can you find the quirkiest garden ever? Included in every write-up are profiles of the residents, whom Dalzell is careful to portray not as stereotypical Berzerkeleyites but as individuals who have found their true north of exuberant self-expression.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Following the success of <i>Quirky Berkeley</i>, "arbiter of the eccentric" (<i>The New York Times</i>) Tom Dalzell returns to take readers on a tour of even more artwork that peppers the proudly idiosyncratic Northern California city.
