Title: James Dean Died Here: The Locations of America's Pop Culture Landmarks by Chris Epting ISBN: 1-891661-31-0 Publisher: Santa Monica Press Pub. Date: 01 May, 2003 Format: Paperback Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $16.95 |

Summary: Fun browsing
Comment: This book is a lot of fun and one that you might want to take with you if you ever visit Sunset Blvd. (many events happened there!). It lists the locations of cultural landmarks and many entries have a photograph, but not all. Chapters are divided by "History and Tragedy," "Crime, Murder & Assassination," "Celebrity Deaths," "Movies," "Music," "Sports," etc. Landmarks such as the subway grating where Marilyn Monroe posed, Manson Family murder sites, the spot where Zsa Zsa slapped the policeman and Hugh Grant picked up a prostitute are all here. Some entries leave you yearning for more information - for example, it would be interesting to know what became of some of the famous celebrity houses and who lives there now. This information is sometimes noted but often it is not. Photos for ALL of the sites would have been nice too but many do not have photos. Lots of fun though and hopefully this will be a book that will be updated.

Summary: Great look back.
Comment: The book is everything the reviewers say it is. It does, however, contain many more descriptions than it does photos. A little more balance would be nice, but it's still tops!

Summary: Pop-Culture Almanac
Comment: A must for anyone who is even slightly interested in American pop culture. This book is loaded with facts about all kinds of events all over the country.
One of the cool things for me (when I first read this book) was realizing how many spots I've drivin past over the last few years without realizing that some historical event took place there. For instance: there is a Hollywood Video in LA that I've actually rented from that used to be the bank that Patty Hearst and her posse ripped off.
It is a very easy-to-read-guide to all those cool events we've witnessed on TV over the last few years. And, no matter where you live in the country, you are bound to find an event that took place near you.
