5.0 out of 5 stars Fascinating and beautiful, 6 Sep 2000
By A Customer
This book works as well as a social document as it does as a beautiful collection of important photographs. From the alluring to the deeply touching, Keaton has chosen some of the most amazing images of her country's century.

2.0 out of 5 stars Stunningly ordinary, 2 Aug 2004
By Robin Benson - See all my reviews
(TOP 100 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
This should have been an interesting idea for a book, a bit of nostalgic tabloid froth. Instead I was disappointed to find it is just a collection of less than mediocre images from the photo morgue of the LA Herald Express. I don't think the publishers realised the essence of down market newspapers are the headlines and photos, the story would be written to fill the remaining space. To separate the headline from the photo really doesn't work, so each page photo in the book should have shown a small tear-out from the paper with the punchy headline and the photo. To have one without the other produces a very dull book, which is probably why I was able to buy a copy at a really low remainder price.

There are very few photos in the book that warrant a second look taken as they were for each day's paper and not history. Many of them have small amounts of retouching which is a bit odd as the image quality was of no interest to the readers, some have retouching that is just plain amateurish, a woman's tears on page fifty-six and a building aflame on pages 130-131. A few show the picture cropping marks and the paint used for cut-outs.

All the photos show the ordinary folk of Los Angeles in moments of anguish, no celebrities, politicians or momentous events, the Herald left all that stuff to the more professionally produced dailies. Comparing these photos with the ones from the New York tabloid Daily News ('New York Exposed' ISBN 0810943050 or 'New York Noir' ISBN 0847821722) shows just how parochial, ordinary and dull the Herald's output was but the title of the book is, after all, local news!
