A New Book From Fort Canoga Press!

Hello All-

I wanted to let you know that there is a new book on the Fort Canoga Press newsstands, and it features a lot of my photos. I recently photographed Rock Hill High School's 50th anniversary reunion, and the organizers of the reunion came to me with an idea to put together a special book commemorating the event.

The result is this-

https://www.amazon.com/Rock-School-Class-Anniversary-Reunion/dp/0692719946/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8&qid=1466571853&sr=8-8&keywords=daniel+coston 

The book is full of my photos from that weekend, as well as various memories and ephemera from the 1960s, and Rock Hill High School. The book is edited and put together by Becky Helms, and my thanks to her for taking this project on.

Are you interested in creating a similar book? Contact us and let us know. More news soon, and see you on Amazon,
