  • Forest Lawn Memorial-Park: The Unauthorized Guide on May 23, 2011

    I am intimately familiar with the grounds and the attractions of Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Glendale, California. I have family member interred there. I worked there for a number of years. And during my tenure working for the LA County Coroner's office, I became the person who would take out of towners there to see "the sights". This book is an excellent tool for those who would like to see the same sights but don't happen to have an expert guide along. This book is wonderfully done and every bit an expert guide all on it's own.
  • Hollywood Forever Cemetery: The Unauthorized Guide on May 23, 2011

    While I do not have the same depth of familiarity with Hollywood Forever as I do with the Forest Lawn properties, I have been a follower of the park and it's progress over many years. I was heartbroken at the dilapidated condition it had fallen into and watching the work that Tyler Cassity and his staff have done to rescue the cemetery has been so very thrilling. They have made it a place of peace and beauty once again deserving of the many Hollywood stars that made it their final home. Mark's book is an excellent guide to the many, many, MANY points of interest at Hollywood Forever. I recommend it wholeheartedly to devoted fans of departed Hollywood such as myself.
