Every year, the Los Angeles Times Festival of Books becomes livelier and brighter due to the growing number of attendees. From book lovers, casual readers, and literary collectors to authors and publishers, people gathered to celebrate literacy.
The largest book festival in the US opened its doors last April for a glamorous two-day weekend celebration with the bookworms. Held at the University of Southern California, many book enthusiasts, book lovers, and book collectors, as well as writers, established authors, and many more, attended the free event.
A lot of bookfair-goers went by the Citi of Books booth to check for their next read and potential favorite book. One of the books that were chosen is “The Healing Waters of Saratoga” by “Doc” Michael E. Janssen. It was displayed on April 20th and 21st at the Los Angeles Times Festival of Books at the University of Southern California.
This beautifully illustrated book, “The Healing Waters of Saratoga,” chronicles the rich history of Saratoga Hot Springs Resort in Wyoming. More than just a spa brochure, it delves into the fascinating past of the location, from its time as a healing spot for Native Americans to its evolution into a Western retreat for weary travelers.
The book explores the stories of the visionaries who shaped the resort’s journey, from 19th-century luxury lodges to the current incarnation overseen by the Janssen family. Packed with historical details, “The Healing Waters of Saratoga” is a must-have for anyone who has ever enjoyed the resort’s famed hot springs and for history buffs alike.
