Photographic display of HOLLYWOOD, -- then and in the early 2000's June 21, 2007 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
As my title said, (in 50 words or less) this book is a "photographic display of HOLLYWOOD, -- then and in the early 2000's".
I found the book highly informative and enjoyable. Yes, the photos are in black and white, however, I believe the author did this to show continuum.
The book is filled with (mostly) large photos of Hollywood, before and after time had changed the topography and architectural styles of the area.

I had been so impressed with the quality and accuracy of Rosemary Lord's book LOS ANGELES THEN AND NOW that I was delighted to find this new book HOLLYWOOD THEN AND NOW. It is brilliant and fascinating. This is an impressive, informative history of Hollywood. I worked in the Hollywood Motion Picture Industry during much of this time and Lord has captured the world I remember so well. I was pleased to see this book on the L.A. Times Bestseller List in January when it first came out and have bought several copies as they make great gifts. I look forward to her next book.

Extremely Disappointed June 19, 2004 10 out of 13 found this review helpful
I was given this book by a friend because he knows I was raised in Hollywood and love the history of the area. The archival photographs are quite nicely reproduced, however, the current photographs are very poor. I enjoy digital photography and was in Hollywood a few weeks ago and visited the same historic scenes from this book. I quite easily found the angle of the original shots found in this book.. why this book showed those same shots but taken from different angles than the original photos is beyond me. The modern photos in this book are also very unflattering, out of focus and even amateur in appearance... not much more than snapshots.
The worst thing about this book are the many obvious mistakes in locations and historic details. What a shame.
