About This Item
Los Angeles: California Classics Books. Near Fine. (c.1994). First Edition. Softcover. [essentially as new, with just a couple of tiny spots on the fore-edge]. Trade PB (B&W photographs) INSCRIBED ("For ____ / best wishes from") and SIGNED "Ian," on the title page, with a big circle drawn around his surname. "Whitcomb's irreverent, impassioned, often surreal interests not only pop music but autograph hounds, Joseph Wambaugh and his cop pals, life in Old El Monte, the riff-raff of Hollywood, Mae West, L.A. piano bars, cleaning the street and singing in post-riot Los Angeles, Rudy Vallee's dog, and the ghosts of 'B' Westerners among the rocks of Lone Pine, California. America, and Los Angeles, seen through Ian Whitcomb's filter of fun, may never be the same again." .
