I've enjoyed the Access series of books for some time, but they are not updated or corrected often enough. I am now leary of using them unless it is brand new edition, which this is not.

The 2002 Access Los Angeles is still considered current by the publisher and is being distributed to retailers, yet there has been no further update since publication. Most of that information was at least a year old when it was published, and some of it has obviously not been checked out for at least 5. That greatly diminishes it's usefulness, except as a general guide. The current edition can still be used for it's neighborhood maps, it's overview and it's easy to understand layout. All establishments and attractions, however, should be phoned in advance of plan making, as there is no other way to tell if the Access data on hours, cost, etc are current. Assume it isn't.

I cannot recommend using this as one's sole guide to Los Angeles trip planning. I'll be interested in seeing a new edition and comparing it's entries to this edition.
