      A special local history night at Vroman’s Bookstore will feature local author and journalist Michele Zack in conversation with Michelle Hunevan about Zack’s book Altadena: Between Wilderness and City on Monday, February 16, 7:00 pm.

      Books will be available for sale and signing.

      Over twenty years ago, the Altadena Historical Society commissioned noted journalist, historian, and Altadena resident Michele Zack to write the history of Altadena. The book received an Award of Excellence from the American Association for State and Local History in 2010 and earned high praise from scholars.

      Now the Society is reissuing the book in celebration of its 90th anniversary in substantial hardcover edition that features historical and enhanced photographs and illustrations, many of which were reproduced for the first time in the original printing. It also includes the Eaton Fire.
