Review: Beautiful and nostalgic look at the Los Angeles of yesteryear. - A beautiful archive of both historic and nostalgic photographs, art and ephemera from the iconic City of Angels; I was in the lobby of a doctor’s office and while waiting I flipped through this book, only to get so entranced that I stopped to take a picture of the cover so that I could buy it later. This copy is going to be a gift for a family friend - but… there’s nothing wrong if I read a bit of it before I give it, right?
