Customer Reviews

Great Book

We visited Los Angeles for the first time recently and were worried about what we had heard - that the city is a big sprawling mess, difficult to get around, etc. All of which is true, but this book made it less intimidating and actually a lot of fun. We took the author's advice to heart and wound up not feeling like dummies at all! This is a great book for the first time visitor.

Old dogs can learn new tricks!

My husband travels to Los Angeles often for businessso he knows a lot about the city but I went for thefirst time on his last trip. Since he was going to bein meetings a lot I was worried about being on my ownso I bought this LA for Dummies guide and I'm so gladI did! It was fun to read and so informative - iteven showed my husband the "LA expert" a few tricks.I totally recommend it!

Great for anyone visiting or living here

Totally agree about the locals comment. I just moved here from San Francisco and found great stuff in the book to make me feel like a native. Well-written, funny, entertaining, and a great resource for anyone visiting or living here!

Good For Locals Too

Some friends of mine from high school were coming to visit me here in LA and bought this book and had a great vacation, largely due to the terrific advice given in it. LA is a big sprawling mess of a city and the book helps narrow it down to a manageable size, especially for first time visitors. The surprising part was when I looked at the book while they were here - the stuff I learned on restaurants, attractions, and more that I never knew existed was amazing. It's opened my eyes to a whole new LA. Excellent all the way around.

Don't Leave Home Without It

This guidebook is witty, useful, and trail-breaking.Mary Herczog takes Los Angeles and somehow makes it fun, organized, and not scary. What I liked best about it, she focuses on things most people miss, the sort of thing that you absolutely want to know about if you're going there without any kind of inside knowledge or friends in town, and she makes it all so fascinating and entertaining to read about. You can have a good read here even if you're not going to LA anytime in the foreseeable future.Also she knows where all the really cool places are. And I know the title says "For Dummies" but obviously she's not, and she doesnt' treat her readers as dummies either. A terrific book.Highly recommended.
