Pressestimmen
One of the most arresting and telling images in "California Crazy & Beyond: Roadside Vernacular Architecture" by Jim Heimann appears on the title page of the book. A grinning carpenter stands in front of a half-finished restaurant under construction on Whittier Boulevard on a sunny day in 1932, and behind him we can see the 2-by-4s and tar paper and chicken-wire that will give the structure its fanciful shape-the restaurant is called teh Chili Bowl, and that's exactly what it will look like. "California Crazy & Beyond" is a celebration of architecture that is designed and built to look like something else-ships and planes, trolleys and zeppelins, flowerpots and fireplaces, oranges and lemons, toads and toadstools. With more than 350 evocative examples of what Heimann calls the "anything-goes attitude" in California architecture, the book can be enjoyed as a charming exercise in whimsy and nostalgia. At the same time, however, it offers some intriguing insights into how and why Southern California came to be "the crazy-building capital of the world." -Los Angeles Times
Synopsis
Ever since the advent of the automobile, oddball roadside architecture has dotted the American landscape. Restaurants, realtors, music schools, service stations, and many other businesses operated out of buildings shaped like hot dogs, animals, airplanes, pianos, and other such anomalies. Los Angeles historian Jim Heimann dubbed this style "California Crazy," and wrote a book about it in 1980; California Crazy and Beyond is the expanded reissue of that Chronicle Books classic. The original California Crazy had a very long life - seventeen years. It established long-time author Jim Heimann's reputation as a unique architectural historian, and helped secure Chronicle's reputation as a foremost pop culture publisher. Tracing the history of roadside vernacular architecture that proliferated in California from the twenties through the forties, the book helped legitimise the kitschy phenomena of toad-shaped inns, derby-like restaurants, and giant Paul Bunyan statues. Over the years Jim Heimann has researched the subject and uncovered a multitude of new pictures and uncovered buildings he never knew existed.With over 350 photographs and an illuminating text that takes the subject well beyond the bounds of California, California Crazy and Beyond is for the next generation of pop-architecture aficionados.

I bought this book when it first came out in 1980 and I recently noticed that a new addition was available. Well worth getting too, more pages, extra subjects (cars for instance) updated bibliography and a sparkling new layout. Author Heimann feels that architectural historian David Gebhard's term 'Programatic' does not quite capture the flavor of these buildings, I propose calling them FUNTECTURE.A new chapter, not in the original book, is 'Current Condition' which has twenty-two photos, in color, of buildings now standing and they all look very smart and well cared for but wait till you see the photo on page 169, this shows the amazing headquarters of the Longaberger company in Newark, Ohio, famous for making baskets and that is exactly what the building looks like, seven stories high with two carrying handles reaching up to the sky...only in America! You can see and read about this lovely bit of whimsy on their website.You will really enjoy this book if you are a fan of roadside America, especially if you have lived in California and maybe remember some of the weird buildings that are no longer around.

Novelty architecture is fun! I fondly recall the now defunct Disneyland fast food restaurant called Chicken of the Sea Pirate Ship and Restaurant--now I have to travel to Disneyland Paris to experience it. "California Crazy" doesn't feature these two theme park icons, but does have hundreds of photos and illustrations of buildings, statues and even automobiles and gives a brief history of this often crassly commercial architectural style. Called "California Crazy" because of the high concentration of novelty architecture in California, buildings that resemble something other than boxes or warehouses are found throughout the United States. Try locating examples of novelty architecture in your area.I volunteer at an Air Force museum near Ogden and one of the things I did with my edition of "California Crazy" was to bookmark the dozen pictures of aircraft-themed architecture. I left out the flying saucers--and I may have missed a few aviation references--but the B-17G bomber on page 152 perched atop the Bomber Service Station on Highway 99 (1947 photo) was noteworthy because the bomber's interior seemed to have public access--the B-17G wasn't mere decoration.It will take some effort finding buildings that aren't your standard box. Automobiles count--the famous Oscar Meyer Wienermobile is pictured in "California Crazy" but not the Batmobile.Have some fun! Buildings don't have to be boring.You can even design a dog house to resemble a dog--just don't be too surprised if that "big dog" terrifies your pooch.
I moved to San Francisco after seeing the doggie diners there. (One doggie head still exists near the Sf zoo.) if you might make a decision this way, you have found a sort of bible.
Bought this for a relative. This is an updated version of California Crazy. You get to see structures that you wouldn't necessarily see in todays day and age. For example, a hot dog stand that looks like a dog. This book gives more detailed information about the buildings than the predecessor. However, I think I prefer the photos in the original book better, as they're close ups and you can see more detail.
Amazing book on the American whimsical architecture and its history ; clearly a passion of the author to do this in such an outstanding manner; it really is a fun book for all ages
a must
