This review is from: Thomas Guide 2001 Los Angeles Country: Street Guide and Directory (Paperback)

Thomas guides are in general the most detailed and most readable guides around, a hard combination to get. It's a must-have for a sprawling area like Los Angeles.

However, this year's edition has left out the fold-out comprehensive guide map and its paper is noticably weaker - both of which make a big difference in trying to search through its many spiral-bound pages.

Also, all editions now have zip codes and boundaries overlaid in big bold print, even larger and darker than the city names. On most pages, this merely makes it more difficult to find street names. On some, it makes it impossible.

Thomas Guides have been the best around, but not this one. Look for an old one, or hope that they change back next year
