This review is from: Landmark L.A.: Historic-Cultural Monuments of Los Angeles (Paperback)

Given to me as a gift when I first joined the L.A. Conservancy in 2002, "Landmark L.A." has proven to be a great resource for discovering and appreciating the architectural icons that make Los Angeles unique. With more and more properties being designated every year, I am hopeful an updated edition will be published soon.

2.0 out of 5 stars Where's the beef?, May 6, 2005

By 

Adam West (CA United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Landmark L.A.: Historic-Cultural Monuments of Los Angeles (Paperback)

This book is basically a bunch of pictures of LA's official historic landmarks. At the intro to each neighborhood, there is a brief write-up (1/2-3/4 page) on ALL off the landmarks in that area. A sentence or two on a FEW of the sites just doesn't cut it. To top it off, the print/paper quality is not very good. I'm sorry to say, it's simply disappointing.
