Jaffe’s brother Sam published periodicals including Palm Springs News, and Palm Springs Pictorial.
In the 1950s, Jaffe, formerly operator of a scenic tour organization, published pocket guides to Europe, working with Charles Richmond Jacobs.
The publication was later taken over by Louis Rangno and his wife, Diane. Since 1934, the West Los Angeles couple had worked for Jaffe Publications — which also produced the Southern California Greeters Guide.
