Jim Heimann is the executive editor at Taschen America and it’s his eye for all things Americana – along with the wild, weird and ever-so kitsch – that’s earned him a reputation as one of the most authoritative voices on historic US design, architecture and culture. His latest book, ‘California Crazy’, showcases the architecture that’s not afraid to be big in the Golden State and beyond.
