Who knew we needed a book about the hippie houseboat community of Sausalito?

“It was in the 1960s that they came here to live on a shoestring and to party on the outskirts of that no-good, mainstream, conformist, 9-to-5 society,”
 Lars Åberg writes in the surprise staff favorite, Floating in Sausalito. A book no one saw coming, this study of the historical (and now gentrifying) hippie houseboat community in Northern California pairs photographs of the idiosyncratic residents and their boats—inside and out—and texts that really do convey the Bohemian funk of the place.
