Descripción del artículo del vendedor

(lacking the original dust jacket, but encased in a professionally-made facsimile reproduction of same; see 2nd image posted with this listing) (American Guide Series) Series (B&W photographs, maps) This "Completely Revised Second Edition" of the WPA Guide to L.A. (originally published in 1941) is, like all the books in the American Guide series, a comprehensive and thoroughly readable guide to its subject. Sure, it's now almost 75 years "out of date," but as in most cities a lot of the history is still visible if you know how to look for it -- and these old books can still be helpful. (Plus they're just fun.) After some introductory matter (listings of hotels, night clubs, annual events, etc.), the bulk of the book is divided into three sections: "Los Angeles: A General Survey"; "Los Angeles Points of Interest"; and "Neighboring Cities." The "General Survey" section has chapters devoted to education, religion, the movies, radio, the arts, and (my favorite) "The Business of Pleasure." The neighboring cities that are given their own chapters (this book being about the "environs" as well as the city proper) are: Beverly Hills, Glendale, San Pedro & Wilmington, Hollywood, Long Beach & Signal Hill, Pasadena, and Santa Monica. And following all this -- an inevitable feature of the WPA American Guides -- are seven different auto tours (plus three sub-tours) to take in and around the city, some extending as far out as Palm Springs. Appendices: Populations of Cities and Towns; Chronology; Selective Bibliography; Index. NOTE again that this book bears a FACSIMILE dust jacket, to serve the dual purpose of protecting the book from further wear and enhancing its appearance on the shelf; its presence has not been factored in to our pricing. ****NOTE also 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. As always at ReadInk, domestic Media Mail shipping is free.****. …

Descripción de la tienda

Welcome to ReadInk (rhymes with "Dead Ink"), now in our 29th year of putting interesting books into the hands of interested people. **** Although I occasionally lapse into the "royal we" voice, ReadInk is just me, from one end of the pipeline to the other: buying, cataloging, customer service, shipping, you name it. Nothing here is automated, and every order or inquiry gets my prompt, personal attention. **** In describing a book's physical condition, I employ standard book-grading terminology (Good/Very Good/Fine, with various in-between gradations as appropriate) and do my best to avoid both excessive jargon and overly-finicky detail. My goal is always to present a faithful impression of a book's condition and appearance; significant flaws are individually noted, or if too numerous are succinctly summarized. **** Books are more than just physical objects, however: they are also intellectual/information vessels, and in almost every case I also include some information about a book's content in my listing, even if it's only a carefully chosen quotation from the dust jacket copy. (This may sound like a small thing, but take a look sometime and you'll see how amazingly few sellers bother with this, especially in the case of older fiction, which is one of my specialties.) **** I take great care (and pride) in my packaging of books for shipment; I figure it's my responsibility to ensure that each book I send out will withstand the rigors of the U.S. Postal System, and will reach its new owner in the same condition as advertised. (A sturdy box or an unbendable package is always involved.) **** That's all there is to ReadInk: just a guy who has loved books all my life (perhaps to excess) and entered the trade in my "middle years" to see what I could make of it. And I'm still finding out. **** To view my inventory exclusively, head over to my website -- www.readinkbooks.com. ---- Howard Prouty, prop.…
