Review Quotes
"I liked The Great Book Of California Kindle Book a lot. It's a whole lot of information about a whole lot of things concerning the State of California. There was so much that I didn't know. I really enjoyed finding out all the interesting things. I also have The Great State of Texas and the Great State of New York All of them are very good and very informative. I can't wait to get the next State Kindle Book. I like a lot of Bill O'Neill's Kindle Books. Especially the crazy facts ones. So if you want to be entertained and learn something at the same time. Read some of his books. He has a lot to choose from. I really like them and I'm sure you will find that you will like them too." by Jeanne Kemp

"Mr. O'Neill would have been the type of teacher wished I had in High School. This is the type of knowledge & history kids love.
In this book you have a great majority of facts that are taught Air should be in school!
I just wish Mr.McNeill would write a trivia book on my home state of Mississippi. Wishful thinking I know but you never know.
Great job, can't wait for his next book!!" by D. West

"Having lived in CA for 26 years before moving to the East Coast to retire, one would think more than enough knowledge about the sunshine state would have accumulated. Nevertheless, Bill O'Neill's book was a real treasure trove of new insights and information. Whether you have lived there or not, if CA interests you, this book will inform and entertain." by gillianfey

"As a California native, I had personal expectations on the contents and facts. My needs were met reading this book! Starts off with California historical facts and then go to more present-day facts about California. I enjoy reading Bill's books and this one does not disappoint! Recommended." by D. Dalal
