Synopsis
An expanded and revised version of our guide How To Find Old LA, this book delves deep into the City Of Angels’ best-preserved treasures – from a racetrack frequented by Charles Bukowski to old-time Hollywood hangouts. Every one of the 153 carefully selected places in this book is open to visitors. There are bars, delis, book stores, bowling alleys, and burger joints, each of which retains the classic character of another era while being a vital part of the 21st-century city. To make navigation clear, the chapters focus on different areas, and vivid photography brings the entries to life. This is an essential guide for anyone with an interest in 20th-century architecture and pop culture, or a yearning to visit a more glamorous Los Angeles.

About the Author
Kim Cooper is the creator of 1947project, the crime-a-day time travel blog that spawned Esotouric's popular crime bus tours, including the Real Black Dahlia. With husband Richard Schave, Kim curates the Salons and forensic science seminars of LAVA - The Los Angeles Visionaries Association. When the third generation Angeleno isn't combing old newspapers for forgotten scandals, she is a passionate advocate for historic preservation of signage, vernacular architecture, writer's homes and Angels Flight Railway. Kim was for many years the editrix of Scram, a journal of unpopular culture. Her books include "Fall in Love For Life: Inspiration from a 73-Year Marriage," "Bubblegum Music is the Naked Truth," "Lost in the Grooves," an oral history of the band Neutral Milk Hotel and "The Kept Girl," a fact-based 1920s mystery starring the young Raymond Chandler. Her newest book is "How to Find Old Los Angeles."

paperback. Condition: Very Good. Most of our very good books have only minor imperfections such as shelf wear consistent with a new book that's sat on a bookshop shelf for a year or two. Occasionally we may miss other minor imperfections as we have to grade books at speed. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.
