Summary: Photos That Really Tell a Story
Comment: The photos selected for this book tell a gripping story of a city's emergence in just 100 years from a backwater hamlet to a world-class metropolis. The pictures, including many never before published, tell us how the growth happened, who was responsible and the impacts-both good and bad. The photo captions go far beyond merely identifying the subject, but rather weave an evocative narrative of Los Angeles' defiant and audacious self development as home of many of the 20th Century's most important industries and creations, including movies, television, aerospace and freeways. This book is a treat for anyone who loves urban history and the West.

Rating: 4
Summary: A Visual Feast
Comment: This book is a visual feast for any affecionado of the City of Los Angeles and its vibrant culture. The photographs,in black in white, give a nostalgic look at the last 100 years of this city. Of course, there are the fascinating photos from Hollywood's golden area, but also photo's documenting the city's role in the great wars, its economy and it's diverse culture. Everyone who picks this book up off my coffee table for a quick glance ends up spending time looking at the entire contents. The photographic editor should be praised for his/her selections.
