Review by Beverly A. Lovaas for Sawtelle: West Los Angeles’s Japantown (CA) (Images of America)
Rating:
This is an excellent book. I lived in West Los Angeles from 1953 to 1956 and can relate to many of its stories. My father was a physician who had his practice on Sawtelle Blvd. I also went to Nora Sterry Grammar School which still exists today. I have many fond memories of living in West Los Angeles. I highly recommend this book to anyone who lived in West Los Angeles.
