However, if you want some outstanding photos of that brilliant country house, order from Amazon or a local bookstore the just-released book by author Victoria Kastner and California photographer Victoria Garagliano, "Hearst Castle". It is hardbound, measures 9 x 12 ", and is 240 pages of sumptuous photography inside and outside the castle with accompanying text covering Hearst's and the castle's history, including, of course, his long-term relationship with his mistress, Marion Davies. The book does not state which camera equipment Garagliano used, but that is irrelevant, for the lighting of the gigantic rooms as well as the smaller ones for each shot is wonderful and the scanned photos are sharp. I have studied Hearst and all facets of his life since college and there has never been a book as super as this one on the castle. Now, if I could only find time to finally get to San Simeon to expose some slide film!
