Assouline's coffee table book "Palm Springs" presents the vibrant desert oasis at its finest. The beautiful book outlines an intimate story of discovery, designed with an appetizing mix of dynamic images, some provided by local photographers.

Palm Springs, synonymous with mid-century modern architecture and the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, is an oasis in California's Sonoran Desert. With predictions of sunshine and year-round warm weather, Palm Springs attracts golfers, celebrities and wellness enthusiasts. The city is a living architectural museum where the stars of the mid-century modern movement, such as Richard Neutra and Albert Frey, starred. A pastel-colored playground for revelers and those with eccentric tastes. A haven for those seeking contact with nature, spectacularly on display in nearby Joshua Tree National Park.

Always evolving, the region finds inventive ways to merge its retro vibe with the interests of the present. Step back into the heyday of the 1960s and 1970s and explore the abodes of the Rat Pack and Marilyn Monroe. Then hop over to the contemporary land-art exhibit "Desert X," which showcases cutting-edge installations. Palm Springs is a destination that bends time and is, simply put, fun. This oasis in the desert comes alive with its colorful inhabitants and bold style. In the pages of Palm Springs, discover the paradise that Frank Sinatra called home for more than fifty years.
