A few weeks ago, Chron writer John King did a smart essay on Carey McWilliam’s “California: The Great Exception,” a book – to the frustration of all reading – King said was out of print.
There outta be a law against tricks like that. But, sadly, we’ve all done it.
All hope is not lost, however. King goofed. And in his Thanksgiving column, King notes that “The Great Exception” is available from the University of California Press. It has an extra special treat: A forward by former San Franciscan Lewis Lapham.
