Pocket Guide to the Best of Los Angeles

Four of the tours stop at famous landmarks and the homes of the biggest superstars in Hollywood, Beverly Hills, Brentwood and Pacific Palisades. Celebrity biographies are provided for more then 60 of the greatest stars of today and yesteryear. Some of my favorites include Brad Pitt, John Travolta, Harrison Ford, Steven Spielberg, Dustin Hoffman. Marilyn Monroe, Lucille Ball, and Elvis Presley.

The final tour is a walking tour exploring downtown Los Angeles. This tour unveils the various cultures, historical facts and gives you a feel for the future of the city of Los Angeles. Featured are water parks, beautiful gardens, mini-museums, three different ethnic communities, architectural feats, and much more.

Not only does the book have very accurate driving directions, but it contains GPS coordinates for those who like to navigate with GPS. Additionally, it contains a very innovative GPS Adventure Game which is a type of cross word puzzle where you are given GPS coordinates and clues. You travel to each GPS coordinate, read the clue and determine the answers. The game's route follows pretty close to the route of Adventure Tour I, so you can play the game at the same time that you go on the tour. For example, one clue is the tomb inscription, "She did it the hard way". The GPS coordinates take you to Forest Lawn Memorial Park to Bette Davis' tomb. Another clue is "A winged lady holding an electron", and you are guided to GPS coordinates at The Academy of Television Arts and Sciences where you see a thirty foot Emmy (the answer) and many more busts of the greatest television stars.

The book was well planned and is very convenient. I highly recommend the "Pocket Guide to the Best of Los Angeles" to everyone.

Born There, Never Done That!
Even though I was born and raised in the Los Angeles area, I never knew there were so many fun and interesting places to visit. The "Pocket Guide to the Best of Los Angeles" is assisting to provide my family and me with many exciting and educational experiences. Recently I visited the Museum of Tolerance. I must say that I have heard it advertised in the past, but had no desire to visit. It was quite a learning experience and now I am excited about choosing more places both for relaxation and education. Thank you "Pocket Guide to the Best of Los Angeles" for enlightening me to such experiences. Now when family and freinds visit, we will be able to plan exactly what we want to do, already knowing all the necessary details for a perfect outings.

I have had the pleasure of going on a few of the book's Adventure Tours and being able to read a biography about each of the stars certainly makes viewing their homes more interesting. The choice of only the prime super stars of today and the past was excellent. The driving directions were easy to follow, accurate and the stops on the tours were not too far apart.

I like the way the book is organized with various types of attractions separated from the tours, and also the recommendations on visiting other sights in the area. The book is just the right size to fit into my pocket or purse. While browsing, we noticed the clever comments by the authors throughout the book. A little humor is always good. I can't wait to try other adventures. My leisure time is valuable and the use of the web site addresses and other information in the pocket guide allows me to make the most of that time. As they say "Time is money" and this was money well spent.

Three Cheers For The Authors.
