| Images of America; Sports of Santa Cruz County By Geoffrey Dunn |
 "Images of America; Sports of Santa Cruz County," is loaded with 183 compelling images.Much of the rare collection of images were donated to Dunn by members of the community, friends and family. Most of the pictures are portraits or team shots rather than action. "To me, it makes it more about the person than the play itself," Dunn said. The first image inside the 127-page book is of the 1912-13 Santa Cruz High girls basketball team, decked out in game-day dresses. Dunn notes in a caption that he was shocked this beautiful image went unscathed after a fire ravaged the original campus structure on Walnut Avenue the same year.
Three images reside on the last two pages, including an impressive aerial shot of the starting line at the annual Wharf to Wharf race from Santa Cruz to Capitola, which draws 15,000 participants annually and many more spectators. On the last page are more recent shots, one of the Santa Cruz Warriors, an NBA D-League team that began playing in Santa Cruz in 2012 and even reached the playoffs during its first season, and another of the 2013 Santa Cruz Derby Girls' Boardwalk Bombshells.Do the math. That makes 100 years of history cover-to-cover.
