Book Reviews of L A Lost & Found: An Architectural History of Los Angeles (California Architecture and Architects)
Book Review: I was disappointed.
Summary: 3 Stars
L A Lost & Found was a very good resource for the "history" of how the City of Angels developed into what it is now. However, if you are looking for a book which shows the awesome beauty of LA's prominent architectural sites - which can take your breath away - this is not the book you want to buy. I found the book akward. The format seems clumsy and lacking. There is no index. The content didn't seem to follow any patterns that were discernable to me. Despite the photos by the revered and excellent Julius Shulman - I just thought this book came up short. It seems to me to be an average sort of book. You might very well have a different take on this book. But I would not recommend it unless you have a full library on LA architecture before buying this one.
