New York: Simon & Schuster, 1991. Book. Fine. Hardcover. First Edition.. FIRST PRINTING of the First Edition. A critical and unsentimental analysis of Los Angeles and what it has become as it has filled with Third World immigrants, the author presenting it as the likely fate of the rest of America in the twenty-first century: gridlocked with traffic, out of control crime, drugs galore, weird cults and religions and quasi-religions everywhere, all morality in the dustbin, illegal aliens as the norm and citizenship becoming the non-norm as the US borders are evaporated, much more, overall definitely not a pretty picture of the future - or the present. Hardcover with dust jacket, maps, indexed, 270pp. A very nice copy. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
