Joyce Kleiner Turns Literary Spotlight on the "Legendary Locals of Mill Valley"
Arcadia Publishing tome explores the 94941's inspiration on local icons like Huey Lewis, Sammy Hagar, Bob Weir, Bonnie Raitt, Maria Muldaur, Tom Killion, Rita Abrams, Charlie Deal, John Goddard, the Canepa family, Lucy Mercer and many more.
Spiritually inspired, with an independent streak.
Those are the prevailing traits among the 190 people and 20 organizations profiled in Legendary Locals of Mill Valley, local author Joyce Kleiner’s tome for Arcadia Publishing, the firm best known for publishing local history books like Claudine Chalmers’ Images of America: Early Mill Valley and Suki Hill’s Then and Now: Mill Valley.
Across its 127 pages, Legendary Locals covers a remarkable amount of ground, with Kleiner, best known locally as a former member of the Mill Valley Parks & Recreation Commission and as the longtime “Civics Lessons” columnist for the Mill Valley Herald. She does so by grouping the book into seven chapters, including "Visionaries and Quiet Champions," ""Bohemia in the Redwoods" and "Foundations and Footraces."
Kleiner held her official book release party on May 29 at the Depot Bookstore & Café at 7:30 p.m. She has a host of other events in June, including presentation for the Mill Valley Historical Society and the Mill Valley Rotary Club.
