It's 1955 and Delores Sarjeant has just found her calling: taking pictures of the gorgeous Sammi Brill. Sammi got her start in modeling working for Delores s dad, the famous pin-up painter Gael Sarjeant. Delores and Sammi have a special rapport, creating some of the most indelible, iconic images of the fifties. Delores knows just the way to bring a flush to Sammi s cheek before turning the camera on her.
Too bad Gael is going to explode if Delores tries to sell any of those photos. And Sammi won't sign a model release. And Delores is living in her parent's house, about to turn thirty, with no way to support herself. She has to choose: stability with the long-term partner she spurned, or independence and heart-racing excitement with Sammi?
California Four O Clock is a stylish, gripping family drama set in mid-century Los Angeles. It's about painting vs. photography, queer identity in a time of great repression, California's car obsession, and that big bang moment of culture being forged by a shutter click. It's about about daughters and fathers, daughters and mothers, lovers and partners, and what it s like to fight the ghost of a self you haven t yet outgrown.
California Four O'Clock is a beautifully designed hardbound book, produced in a limited edition of 500 copies.
It has an illustration at the top of every chapter by the incredbile Vicki Nerino, full-color wraps also illustrated by her, and a lush interior, designed for both a great reading experience, and as an object in of itself.
"Synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to ThriftBooksVintage, Dallas, Texas, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
