5 stars........what else would you expect?

Los Angeles is a wonderful city so full of interesting things. This book has it all. All the areas are greatly photographed and look clear. LA's smog problem seems to be subsiding as the photos show clear days (most of them) and LA is only getting better. Every part of the city is showned. If you like photos from the air, you'll like this book. Also, the Library tower is shown (this is the first building to get blown up in the movie "Independence Day") in several photos. The older printings of this book didn't have them in it. I highly recommend this book.

WORLD CLASS CITY: Los Angeles

There are about 25 WORLD CLASS CITIES on Earth (out of the millions) and Los Angeles just so happens to be one of them! It is such a privilege to live in this beautiful city with SOO much to offer. I purchased this book because I love this city so much. "Above Los Angeles" (although A LITTLE outdated...but not by much--just one building in downtown that was not fully completed) captures the sheer power and size and incredible beauty of "The City Of Angels." I, myself, have seen Los Angeles many times from the window of an airplane, and every single time I am in awe as I stare out looking at one of man's greatest accomplishments! Day or night, this city "sparkles" with beauty. This is a great souvenir for anyone who has visited L.A. or even someone who just loves L.A. period. Good journey.

fantastic, amazing, bloody marvelous!

As a visitor from New Zealand, I was amazed and astounded at the culture and geographic differences between L.A. and Auckland NZ. This book does nothing to show the cultural aspects of life in L.A., but that wasn't what it was designed for. This book is purely a geographical picture book of the marvels L.A. has to offer. From the before and after pix of Beverly hills developments over the years, to the wonder of the Southern California coast, this book has it all. I'm pretty sure that there isnt anything this book has left out. This is a must have for any traveller to L.A. wishing to relive the vacation all over again. Our copy has been thumbed through so many times, we just about need another one! 10/10

Try to make sense of Los Angeles

With this book you'll see just how big Los Angeles really is. So many pictures of suburban sprawl and older neighborhoods, and a few of downtown, and other denser areas. See all the universities and the coastline and freeways. Get lost in LA.
