Available for order online
from Amazon or Barnes and Noble, it will soon be available at the Tustin Area
Museum as well as local book sellers. The
Tustin Area Museum will have it available for purchase, also.
The publishers sum up the contents of the book
thus: "In an era when the heart of Tustin was the intersection of Main and D,
folks flocked to town to get supplies and swap stories. Some of these stories
featured Tustin notables like C. E. Utt, who tried his hand at every local crop;
Sam Tustin, whose Buick touring car became the town fire truck; Big John
Stanton, who formed the one-man police department; and Dr. William B. Ball, who
found inspiration for his orange crate label in a rooster painting from Grover
Cleveland.
