About the Author
Herb Lester Associates publish guides for tourists and locals: witty, pretty, curious and opinionated. We research, write, print and distribute maps and guides to the world's great cities. We seek out the well-used and much-loved, and enjoy the extraordinary as well as the everyday. Old bookshops and new coffee shops, park benches and dive bars, hat shops and haberdashers: this is the world according to Herb Lester.
From Esotouric’s true crime tours to her novel The Kept Girl, which stars the young Raymond Chandler, Kim is the premiere historian of L.A.’s lost lore.
A native Angeleno, Paul has been making illustrations from a studio in Pasadena and tracking down Chandler locations for 35 years.
