I have got a copy of the book. I draws me back to it time and again. I'm not sure what magic Mark put in it, but it's always a fascinating book to view.
I found LA the ugliest city I ever lived! Sure Westwood was better but so are any rich, wealthy areas even in 3 rd World. Lived mostly in NewPort Beach Ca. Big whoopie! Except for the Pacific and some beaches.. Oh! LA is not at the sea! 40 miles inland...Looking at these images, the desolation so apparent.
