Description: "In 2006, Chronicle Books published the first version of the book, 'Harlem of the West: The San Francisco Fillmore Jazz Era.' A tiny website was launched and an exhibit was created from the materials gathered for that early book. Unfortunately, after two pressings, the book was put out of print. Responding to an ongoing demand, Pepin Silva and Watts decided to create a new edition of the book, adding in newly discovered photographs and memorabilia, as well as additional interviews with those who lived and played in the Fillmore at the height of its glory."--Website harlemofthewestsf.com, viewed 2017-07-11.
