It was a little like Tales of the City; but it was all Los Angeles.<br /><br />The main character, a young woman, lived in an apartment building with Jacaranda Trees in the gardne or courtyard.<br /><br />THe book was very trendy and entertaining; I love it, and would like to find it again.<br /><br />Ask yourself, and then, maybe pass on the question to another who might know of it, please.<br /><br />Devon Atkins<br />Vashon Island, WA<br />atkins.devon@gmail.comDevon Atkinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10240513741304323093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7863746.post-85877519784432676862007-01-24T16:56:00.000-08:002007-01-24T16:56:00.000-08:00Great post, really enjoyed reading this.

Especially fascinating about the active role typesetters havevplayed in the literary/artistic/political world of L.A.<br /><br />I'm sure that's true about typesetters in many other places too, though one doesn't hear about it much. Meridel LeSueur said a couple of times that the first printing of the Communist Manifesto in the United States was done in a barn near Mankato, Minnesota (not sure when, but 19th century), just as an example off the top of my head.Lyle Daggetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10731915540520704368noreply@blogger.com
