Summary: Helfpul for New People
Comment: If you are brand new to LA, this book will help you out a lot. It seems like it would help someone who is looking for apartments, places to work, and trying to get an idea of what life is like in Los Angeles. If you have already been here for more than a few months, you will have undoubtedly figured out most of the information here on your own. Most of the book is taken up by a listing of restaurants, gyms, dog stores, grocery stores and other necessities. It seems more like a phone book than a guide for someone who would like to get the most out of his city.
If you have been in LA for a few months and have the money, this book will surely show you a few cool places, but nothing strikingly new will be revealed. It would better suit someone who is just on the verge of making the move.

Summary: Even for tourists
Comment: As the title implies, this book has probably more value for L.A. residents or those spending many days a year in L.A. Very helpful and resourceful. In some ways like miniature Yellow Pages and more. An essential supplement to any other guide. Worth having even if you are a tourist.
The only complaint? It's kinda large to carry around (but at least not too thick).

Summary: HUGE BOOK (Not like the NYC model)
Comment: Just received this in the mail and have to note that this book is not what I expected. Coming from NY where I loved my NFT and always stuffed it in my pocket (or bag, because it's a bit larger than pocketsize) I must warn all fellow New Yorkers that this NFT is gigantic. It's bigger than the average paperback. Which makes sense since you're always in the car in LA, but still.
From my quick skim the book looks great.
Only other qualm is that there are advertisements in it, which seem ridiculous with the cover price...
