Great reference for anyone who wants to see their favorite locations
5 Aug 2008
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Much better than the expensive (and often quite wrong) "Maps of the Stars' Homes" sold on street corners in Hollywood, this volume accurately directs you not only to stars' homes (though all you'll see is their hedge, mailbox or garbage cans anyway) but more importantly to the filming locations used in many of your favorite movies and TV shows.
Locations like Fox Plaza in Century City (the Nakatomi building in "Die Hard") and Griffith Park Observatory (of "Rebel Without a Cause" and now "Transformers" fame) are easy to spot simply by driving around, but want to know what buildings and houses were used as the exterior locations for your favorite TV shows? They're in here, from the "Brady Bunch" house in Pasadena to the beach in Malibu Charlton Heston stood upon at the end of "Planet of the Apes."
Yes, most of the same information is now available on the Internet, but this book consolidates it in one handy tome that's great to throw into your carry-on when headed to LA for a trip.
Save yourself the cost of the overpriced maps and materials typically sold in Hollywood gift shops and pick up this volume - if you're serious about visiting famous sites in LA, you won't be sorry.
(As always, though, remember that the residences listed are private property and most stars' security companies won't hesitate to have you arrested for trespassing if you venture beyond the sidewalk fronting the homes, and people who made some paltry sum decades ago to allow their house be used as an "establishing shot" exterior are also likely sick of the attention.)

Author is not happy that listing has not been updated
1 Mar 2008
Format:Paperback
This is William A. Gordon, the author of "The Ultimate Hollywood Tour Book." A revised and expanded fourth edition of the book was released in late 2007, but Amazon has not yet added the new cover, reviews, and updated information, even though it was e-mailed the information numerous times. The cover image is similar to the 3rd edition but uses a different font. The book has also been expanded by 14 pages to 288. You will receive the latest edition if you order the book from Amazon. (And I offer e-mail updates to readers in between editions.) If you have any questions feel free to e-mail me directly at BGordonLA@aol.com.

Good resource
11 Feb 2010
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This book really came in handy for our first trip to LA. In particular (as is stated in the book), the crypt for Marilyn Monroe is very difficult to find. You will never find it without this book. I was with a friend who lives in LA and we went to find this cemetery using the book. When we got to the spot which the book described perfectly, he said it is not there and must be a fluke. However, I walked along side of the parking ramp, and there it was tucked behind everything - a fairly small cemetery. It has other famous people there as well.
If you plan to go to LA, you will definitely see more sites if you have this book.
