A book that you can pick up at any time and be entertained

California is arguably the state that leads the nation in the amount of news it produces and the Los Angeles Times is the leading newspaper in the state. This collection of news photos covers everything from political assassinations, the aftermath of major earthquakes, the actions of Hollywood personalities, major sporting events, bizarre murders and some situations that are just comical. It is a book that you can leave on your coffee table and then pick up at any dead time and be entertained. The images depict all aspects of life and sometimes of death.

Loved this book since I was a kid

My mom had this book in her collection when I was growing up, and I remember poring over its pages for countless hours, fascinated by the pictures and captions. I credit both this book and the LA Times Front Page book with adding to my passion for both history and current events, and I have now purchased copies of both books to add to my own collection. If you enjoy historical photography of both places and events, you'll enjoy this book.
