i agree that there's some spelling error..and a few more errors here and there. this book contains information of some really cool store and restaurants.visited a little of each.went to a restaurant for breakfast.very nice ambiance,good weather,okay stuff and really yummy food.very generous servings too. for stores,some information wasnt correct like the time they open or close so it's good to call in advance.i find that there's a bit too much furniture stores since we're there to check out cool store with stuff we can buy rather than furniture-shop.i'm expecting more cool store that sells cooler stuff,rather than apparel. the picture does help a little though.i hope to see more guides with cooler store(probably cute pet boutique!) in future!!
took a trip just because of this book

Fun, funky book, with a few misspellings and grammatical errors (shame on her editor!) Those are easy to excuse because the shops are just like what I look for in a cool store. Fun photos and I liked the tone of first person prose a lot. My husband and I just took our 2 year old down to LA from Northern CA for a quick weekend to check out the stores and met some nice people. Our trip was inspired solely by the appeal of the book. We also wanted to check out cool stores for inspiration for our own shop we want to open. Some shops got in, apparently, because they know the author. But, that's ok, the shops we went to were all worth visiting. My husband loved the clothes in Apartment #9, loved the carved wood in Pearce and dog Fritz and friendly partner of Pearce (read about that shop/gallery in other places) Obsolete was awesome and Lost in Found in Hollywood had some luscious objects as well as clothes for the kid and us adults, (though the staff was not so friendly as the staff in stores in Santa Monica and Venice with one clerk giving tech support over the phone to a friend for a half hour while we were the only people in the store!) Kaie, it's nice to see someone proud of liking to shop. We didn't get to check out the restaurants, though. Maybe when our toddler is a little older!
