Summary: What a treasure!
Comment: This book is an absolute treasure! I bought it after I saw it on the Best Seller List. It is a fascinating history, interesting archive photos. As a historian I was impressed by her research and historical accuracy. Well done!

Summary: Check your facts Rosemary
Comment: Another piece of drivel from the typewriter of Rosemary Lord. Don't let the lovely cover fool you, the interior contains nothing of value. Lord's photos are incredibly poor and badly shot. Of course there's also the unappetizing prerequisite of factual errors which are far too common throughout Lord's work. The provenance of the El Capitan Theater seems to have confused her as has the difference between Wilshire Boulevard and Fairfax. This book was made for gullible tourists. If Amazon would allow to me to leave "0" stars for this book, it would still deserve a negative.

Summary: Don't bother
Comment: "Hollywood Then & Now" by Rosemary Lord is a complete waste of time. The photos are very poorly shot, sometimes even out of focus! I was expecting a pictorial commentary on the changing Hollywood landscape, what I got was a very pedestrian production, with little or no attention paid to detail.

It is not even a true "Then & Now" book, the concept of which I find fascinating. Some of the new photos have no relation whatsoever to the archival photos, others are shot from a vantage point that in no way mirrors the original setting.

I ended up selling this book at a yard sale and was pleased to discover the work of another author, George Jezek, who publised a book called, "Hollywood Now & Then." Surprising that a product with such a similar approach could be so much more satisfying.

My second purchase eclipsed the first in every way and truly captures the spirit of a "Now & Then" concept.
