Editorial Reviews
Review
Consisting of more than 1,000 entries and nearly 1,800 photographs, this endlessly fascinating guide is a visually stunning portrait of the history, lifestyles and culture of the Los Angeles area from Hollywood and the San Fernando Valley to the beach cities and the Westside... Stanic discusses not only the ubiquitous movie star homes and motion-picture studios, but also museums, historic movie theaters, historic landmarks, churches, cemeteries, beaches, famous restaurants and famous private residences. The photographs and vintage postcards are striking, and the concise descriptions capture the nation's second-largest city in all its wonderful, goofy glory. -- June Sawyers, Chicago Tribune -- --Chicago Tribune
BUZZ At Your Service: The Best of L.A.
Though an all-inclusive guidebook for L.A. would be virtually impossible to produce, Borislav Stanic's LOS ANGELES ATTRACTIONS (Museon, 512 pages, $24.95) comes close. It has an artistry that Fodor s and TimeOut lack. Its glossy pages are jam-packed not only with maps, photos, and concise descriptions of landmarks but also with contextual historical information. Surprising spot: Who knew that Blue Jay Way in the Hollywood Hills inspired the Beatles song of the same name? Navigation tools: Vintage photos and succinct overviews explain how the region became a center for agriculture, architecture, transportation, fashion, and beach culture. Star smarts: Maps to celebrity gravestones and a nod to the Hugh Grant Arrest Site, where the actor was picked up for soliciting a prostitute. --Los Angeles Magazine

Winter and Gebhard include a lot more buildings, and are more insightful and critical, while Stanic is simply descriptive. But Winter and Gebhard's book is really designed for touring neighborhoods, while Stanic's is more a guide for someone with some time to hit the highlights around LA. (And the book does cover the county, not just the city.)
I think this would be a good book for someone planning a trip to the LA area, or someone living in the area who has never really gotten out and seen it. For someone who knows the area well, there won't be much new.
