Yep! A Worthly Resource!

Bykeysesozeon April 14, 2011

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

This is smaller in size than older editions, but it is as informative as the Lonely Planets of Old. Easier to carry around with you. We are yet to travel to LA to try this edition out. To my way of touring and thinking this is an interesting Lonely Planet guide. I have purchased several others LP guides and some are more interesting to me than others. This one I have read cover to cover, my children(young Teens) have read and enjoyed this as well. Yes I am happy I have purchased this book. I always use these books inconjuction with the net and current local newspapers.

Useful

ByNitsmirbAon September 1, 2016

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

This book was pretty useful for my trip to San Diego. It had some interested information about the area and laid out information about the different districts. Honestly I wish they had a version for just San Diego because I feel like they could have covered even more, but all in all a solid purchase.

Not the best guide to the city of Los Angeles...

Bymatias prolaon February 28, 2013

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

I guess it's my fault for buying not just what I needed but the next best thing..
I needed a city guide for the city of Los Angeles but there was not such book available from Lonely Planet
I always choose lonely planet because 9 out of 10 times provides me with the information I need and right on!
Maybe it's okay for travellers taking a tour around the coast of southern California but definitely not so much for an in-depth knowledge of LA
I was very disappointed to find there was no pull-out map, very little information for public transportation, and incomplete page maps (which by the way, I believe should never be split into two pages)

Good Find

ByLaura Darshanon November 21, 2016

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

Bought this to go in a gift basket for work. I looked through it before giving it away. Nice maps, good over view of attractions and places to visit. I hope that who ever won this basket enjoys their journeys around both places

Not at Lonely Planet Standards

ByAmazon Customeron August 16, 2014

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

Have travelled frequently to Europe with many LP guides as a reliable and recommended companion. I am 43 years an Angelino and in comparison to European guide hooks highly disappointing to. I guess this book is a maybe ok guide for the first time foreign traveller. Where are the restaurants? Hotels? Beach bars?

Excellent resource for visiting Southern California. We have not been on the trip yet but this guide gives us a great lay of the land and plenty of highlights to take in.

Shipped very quickly, and great customer service, they really went above and beyond to make this a great gift for my grandmother. I strongly recommend this seller. The book was good too, well laid out and comprehensive, but also well-written and easy to navigate.

Not a Palm Springs book in spite of the search results.

I expected a book on Palm Springs or at least more information than is in the book. I did a search on Palm Springs guide books so even though the title does indicate Los Angeles,...Read more
