In 1985, the husband-and-wife team of Aaron Silverman and Molly Maguire published the first of what the Library of Congress would later call “the decade’s most exciting American maps,” The Raymond Chandler Mystery Map of Los Angeles. This was soon followed by the companion Literary Map of Los Angeles. We’re delighted to be able to offer this vintage book lover’s guide to the City of Angels, featuring the homes and haunts of 75 authors, including Ray Bradbury, Ayn Rand, Dorothy Parker, L. Frank Baum, Anais Nin, Langston Hughes, Dalton Trumbo, F. Scott Fitzgerald and many more. Click here to purchase.
