Hey, look! I'm in an actual library! And so is my book.
Anthony Bourdain was a huge fan of "Hollywood Remains to Be Seen." (Actually, I have no idea. I met him when he was filming an episode for one of his TV shows on a Dearly Departed Tour, and I gave him a book, and he was kind enough to pose for a photo with me. Very nice guy, and surprisingly knowledgeable about infamous celebrity deaths, which shouldn't be too surprising since he seemed to be knowledgeable about almost everything.)
Looking for something else? Another book, perhaps? Or a video? DVD? Music? Software?
Camera equipment? Toys? Games? Electronics? Kitchen appliances? Anything at all?
Search for it right here, and you'll probably find it:
throughout the Los Angeles area, along with detailed personal and professional
biographies. In addition to the comprehensive "Hollywood Remains to Be Seen" book,
Cemetery Guide e-books are also available for easy and convenient personal tours of individual cemeteries.

The Empire Day disaster in Long Beach
about people who deserve to be remembered.
Some of them are famous, but most of them are not.
If you're a fan of true crime or history, you'll enjoy them and learn something.
More than 200 officers of the Los Angeles Police Department have been killed in the line of duty
since the department was formed in 1869. In 2014, the city launched a project to honor
these officers, by placing special memorial signs at the location where each officer fell,
or at the LAPD Police Academy. These are the stories of the men and women
who risked their lives every day to serve and protect the citizens of Los Angeles,
and made the ultimate sacrifice.
