Hardcover. Zustand: Fine. First Edition. (gilt-stamped leather; no dust jacket, as issued) [lovely, as-new copy]. (B&W photographs, facsimiles) SIGNED by the author on the limitation page (this copy being "Number 123 of 500 Deluxe, Hardbound copies"), with an additional personal inscription by the author on the preceding blank page. An illustrated history of the Crown Hill area of Los Angeles, on the western edge of what is today considered downtown L.A. Less written-about (and, I would contend, generally less known-about) than either Bunker Hill (closer into today's downtown, and generally more the focus of urban-loss lamentations) or Angelino Heights (a bit to the north, and still in some measure preserved), Crown Hill "played an essential role in the early history of Los Angeles with the discovery of oil by [Edward L.] Doheny on West Second Street and continues to be part of the pulse of the Downtown area." **** NOTE that additional shipping charges will be requested for international shipping of this moderately heavy book, or for Priority Mail service to U.S. destinations.

Imagine corseted high-heeled housewives negotiating hundreds of narrow steps heading to the streetcar carrying shopping bags. How about a fountain dedicated to Rudolph Valentino commissioned after his death by a group of loving fans? Learn about the "5-Globe Lewellyn," the "Olympic Special," and other historic streetlights still gracing the city's boulevards. These three compact booksStreetlights, Stairways and Fountains designed as personal photo albums, convey the sense of discovery the author felt while pursuing her research.
