Access Los Angeles (Access Los Angeles)

Celebrated for their ease of use, the ACCESS guides recreate each city block with color-coded entries that describe the restaurants (in red), hotels (in blue), shops and parks (in green) and cultural and historic sites (in black) of interest to visitors. Along with maps keyed to these entries, each guide features price and quality ratings, notes on the city's history and architecture and "Bests" sections in which well-known residents share their personal recommendations.
