What I was really pleased to see was that Arcadia Publications has finally used better paper to provide photos that are no longer "fuzzy". If you're in a store, notice the "new" books are thicker than the "old" ones. Unfortunately, they seem to be $2 higher, too. :-)<BR/><BR>From Rosedale Cemetery to Berkeley Square and more--it's in the book.<BR><BR/>Congratulations to the authors for a well-done historical journey!Bradford Caslonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15845975172938523100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3633816278415014207.post-26151987179018252762008-12-05T21:30:00.000-08:002008-12-05T21:30:00.000-08:00Nathan, they're all on my Christmas list, thanks. ...Nathan, they're all on my Christmas list, thanks.

Well, probably plenty of people, but certainly no-one who reads this blog. <BR/><BR/>Recent books from Arcadia include <I>Historic Hotels of Los Angeles and Hollywood</I>, and a book on Angels Flight, which’ve got some pretty choice images of Bunker Hill. (There I go again always making with the Bunker Hill—hey, I’m just trying to keep your West Adams book all snugly-like on the shelf.)<BR/><BR/>(I’d also recommend the Highland Park book published earlier this year, for no other reason than to further my shameless, naked boosterism. <B>Highland Park!</B> The land of yesteryear…<I>today!</I>)Nathanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04221725198973543096noreply@blogger.com
