Most of what is in this book I have seen, heard, experienced or read about in the Dail Cal. Aside from the usual guides to and histories of the city and campus, I recommend the following to those interested in the buildings, personalities and traditions of the University.
- Campus Planning Study Group. Campus Historic Resources Survey. Berkeley, 1978.
- Everything you could possibly want to know about every piece of architecture on campus. If you hoped this book would have detailed discussions about loggias, colonnades and porticoes, get rid of it and find this one.
- Charbonneau, Bob, et al. Strawberry Creek — A Walking Tour of Campus Natural History. Berkeley, 1990.
- More information than I’ve given on the natural resources of the campus site.
