I was shocked when I opened this map of Los Angeles, and finally realized the value of browsing bricks and mortar bookstores before buying online. This map covers such a small percentage of LA that on the full scale map of this city of freeways there is only one freeway showing. It has no Santa Monica or ocean. It omits USC and LA City College, and cuts halfway through UCLA. It has no continuity, showing parts of Beverly Hills, West Hollywood and Hollywood, but not how they connect to Downtown (only part of which is included in a detail), ignoring the three miles in between. It skips entirely the happening neighborhoods of Silverlake and Los Feliz. If tourists were to rely on this map to get between two points they would probably fall off the map before reaching their destination.
