{"product_id":"downtown-in-detail-tom-zimmerman-9781883318918","title":"Downtown in Detail: Close-Up on the Historic Buildings of Los Angeles","description":"Until the late 1970s, Downtown Los Angeles was simply a relic to treasure, a symbol of suburban progress by its own demise. As businesses moved out of what was once the heart of the city, many Downtown buildings suffered the swing of the wrecking ball. But suddenly, up stepped the conservators of history, the people who cared that their city had a vivid past -- and magnificent buildings were saved. Now, through the lens of master photographer\/historian Tom Zimmerman we see scores of reasons why. We see the stories the buildings tell, up close, and, yes, very personally. In Downtown in Detail, Zimmerman finds the unique vantage points from which to capture architectural details that are the highlights of buildings, the ones that are often undiscovered. He finds the sculptures, tiles, clock towers, gargoyles and bas-relief panels that historic architects used to define an era.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Tom Zimmerman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1883318912\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781883318918\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Angel City Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/01\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 112\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.88lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.98h x 7.34w x 0.43d","brand":"Tom Zimmerman","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48175472083199,"sku":"9781883318918","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f165df67-74e8-422a-bb35-4c753a5cc24c.jpg?v=1771333942","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/downtown-in-detail-tom-zimmerman-9781883318918","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
