Summary: The first 5-6 reviews here are obvious hoaxes ...
Comment: ... come on, you can tell that the reviews are written by the author or the publisher or friends thereof.
This book is pretty much a hastily put together collection of stuff you can find in the Yellow Pages or boring informational websites. Waste of money.

Summary: The Best Relocation Book on the Market
Comment: I recently decided to relocate to L.A. from the Midwest, and of the three or four books I bought on the area, this was the one I kept referring back to. The neighborhood descriptions are invaluable, and unlike "Relocating to Los Angeles and Orange County," the book provides helpful tips that are specific to L.A. ("Relocating to..." has a huge section that's generic moving information repeated verbatim in the other books in their series.) The authors of the Newcomer's Handbook tell you what you need to know. They also list a service I didn't see listed anywhere else -- Personalized Relocation Management (...) which helped me find a great place in Santa Monica within 24 hours of landing at LAX. I highly recommend both the book and the service they list. Armed with both of these tools, and a Thomas Guide, you're sure to find what you're looking for with ease.

Summary: from foreigner to LA native in 280 pages!
Comment: Wow, this book was helpful. I'd only been to LA a handful of times before making the big move, so needless to say I was totally stressed out about the whole thing. A friend recommended the Newcomer's Handbook and said it would give me all the info I needed to get settled, and she was right! This book had everything--how to get my phone and cable set up, where to buy household items, even what the local radio stations are (very important to know, especially in LA traffic). The best part, though, is that there's a map for each area (which even directionally challenged people like me can figure out), and a detailed description of practically every neighborhood in the whole city, which was really helpful for figuring out where to live and how to get around. And now that I'm here, I still use it. I've discovered some really cool things that I never knew existed, like Silent Movie (the last remaining silent movie theatre in the country). Anyhow, suffice it to say that I can't recommend the book enough. I feel like an LA native now (minus the big hair)!
