To celebrate the city’s centennial, the Boca Raton Historical Society is offering a coffee table book, ’Dream City: A Pictorial History of Boca Raton,’ that chronicles the city’s remarkable 100-year journey. With more than 170 pages of storytelling and images, ’Dream City’ explores Boca Raton’s transformation from Addison Mizner’s Mediterranean-inspired vision to its rise as a culture and technology hub. The book, priced at $100 plus tax, may be picked up at the History Museum store, 71 N. Federal Highway, or shipped for an additional $15. More information is at www.bocahistory.org.
