Jacaré
was published in 1997, and celebrated the good things about
life in the San Francisco Bay Area. When it wasn't extolling
the virtues of various breakfast eateries, it was giving
reports on fun drives down the coast, tasty adventures in
the kitchen, and busy weekends full of fun. Jacaré
showcased the first several chapters of the serialized fiction
story “The Good Fear of Flying.”
Jacaré
was printed half-digest size, or 4.25 x 5.5 inches.
