Review:

I was very impressed with the latest edition of the Newcomer s Handbook for Los Angeles. It is well organized, concise and up-to-date. I would recommend this book to anyone considering a move to Los Angeles. --Janette L., Attorney Recruiting Administrator for a large Los Angeles law firm

I recently got a copy of your Newcomer s Handbook for Chicago, and wanted to let you know how invaluable it was for my move. I must have consulted it a dozen times a day preparing for my move. It helped me find my way around town, find a place to live, and so many other things. Thanks. --Mike L., Chicago, IL
