Welcome to a sneak peek at The Insiders' Guide^® to Santa Barbara, where you'll discover that Santa Barbara is much more than just a pretty face. We've selected a few chapters to give you a preview of what to expect from the complete guide.

Local authors have put together an in-depth, comprehensive guide that takes you on a fascinating journey through the area's history, events and attractions. Entire chapters are devoted to restaurants (oh, that seafood), shopping (pick vases from three distinct cultures), fishing (ever tussle with a barracuda and a king salmon in the same day?), the arts (blues to Beethoven, O'Keeffe to Monet) and topics you haven't thought of yet.

After you read The Insiders' Guide^® to Santa Barbara, you'll be counting the minutes `til you get there.
