Organized by neighborhood, the book offers in-depth information on more than 200 cultural resources in the area, along with contact information and hours of operation.

Emanuelli lists some of Los Angeles's important commercial art galleries and other art resources; Margaret Trumbull talks about "virtual L.A."; Peter Henn� lists Tinseltown's many attractions for film buffs; Ellen Kraut-Hasagawa points out the places where one can explore literary L.A.; Tom Provenzano lists the spots where one can sample the lively Los Angeles theater scene; and Carol Reese lists the famous and not-so-famous architectural and historical monuments in the city.
