About the author

OUR STORY
A beat-up old car, a few dollars in the pocket and a sense of adventure. In 1972 that’s all Tony and Maureen Wheeler needed for the trip of a lifetime – across Europe and Asia overland to Australia. It took several months, and at the end – broke but inspired – they sat at their kitchen table writing and stapling together their first travel guide, Across Asia on the Cheap. Within a week they’d sold 1500 copies and Lonely Planet was born. One hundred million guidebooks later, Lonely Planet is the world’s leading travel guide publisher with content to almost every destination on the planet.

Reviews

[Todd Smith · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book details what to see in LA from Hollywood to the superb art at the Getty Center to the Santa Monica Pier.

You will find full-color maps, itineraries, and insider tips.

Essential information such as hours, phone numbers, websites and transit tips along with prices.

You will find reviews of restaurants, hotels, shopping, and even hidden gems.

The book covers the area throughout LA from Hollywood to downtown to Venice Beach.

I liked the neighborhood focus to learn what is nearby when I am in that general area. I will refer back to it on my trip.
