Paperback. Zustand: Good. Los Angeles in the 1930s returns to print an invaluable document of Depression-era Los Angeles, illuminating a pivotal moment in L.A.'s history, when writers like Raymond Chandler, Nathanael West, and F. Scott Fitzgerald were creating the images and associations - and the mystique - for which the City of Angels is still known. Many books in one, Los Angeles in the 1930s is both a genial guide and an addictively readable history, revisiting the Spanish colonial period, the Mexican period, the brief California Republic, and finally American sovereignty. It is also a compact coffee table book of dazzling monochrome photography. These whose haunting visions suggest the city we know today and illuminate the booms and busts that marked L.A.'s past and continue to shape its future.…

Hardcover. Zustand: Fair. 3rd printing. (no dust jacket) [front hinge broken, although otherwise only modestly shelfworn; folding map is NOT present in rear pocket]. (American Guide Series) Series (B&W photographs, maps) Comprehensive guide to the history, culture, commerce and geography of California. Includes chapters on individual cities and towns: Berkeley, Fresno, Hollywood, Long Beach, Los Angeles, Monterey, Oakland, Pasadena, Sacramento, San Diego, San Francisco, San Jose, Santa Barbara, Stockton. There are numerous prescribed "Tours," as was standard with this excellent series, including special tour sections devoted to Death Valley National Monument, Sequoia and General Grant National Parks, and Yosemite National Park, as well as to the Golden Gate International Exhibition -- although one does wonder, with wartime gasoline rationing in effect at the time of this printing, how many people were actually able to get out on the road and take advantage of this feature. Most of the photographs in the book are not credited to individual photographers, although Horace Bristol's name is attached to a few, and there is a single shot (of some anonymous and dunes) attributed to Bret Weston. Includes: chronology, a select reading list; index. The text appears to be identical to the first (1939) printing. ****NOTE that additional postage charges will be assessed for international shipping of this moderately heavy book; if this concerns you, please contact us for a shipping quote before placing your order.
