Los Angeles is a book

September's Vanity Fair has six images from photographer Tim Street-Porter's new entry on the list of books that are titled simply Los Angeles. I don't know about the book, but the images in VF are gorgeous—of the Bradbury Building interior, the old Pan-Pacific Auditorium (burnt down 1989), the streamline Coca-Cola bottling plant downtown and the Herman Sachs ceiling fresco over the auto entrance at Bullock's Wilshire. Rizzoli is charging $195 for the limited edition, which comes with a foreword by Diane Keaton. Vanity Fair also teases to The Tender Bar, the new memoir coming from L.A. Times staff writer J.R. Moehringer, with his picture.
