208 pp colour / 14 maps
Next edition due: September 2011

The Los Angeles Encounter guide gives you twice the city in half the time.

Get drunk on California's sun as you lounge with the locals on Venice Beach. Go retro in a booth at Musso and Franks, LA's oldest diner, or up to the minute in the boutiques on Robertson. Los Angeles cruises at any speed you want.

This pared-down number is ideal for quick trips - it's less accommodation, more neighbourhood highlights and the best of local knowledge.
