Review. I love this book. I love Jett Loe's talent, passion, sense of humor and his perseverance. What a gift to Los Angeles history and West Adams in particular. If you love architecture and have any question about the beauty, restoration and preservation of one of Los Angeles' first suburbs, check out this book. It's a keeper!
AMAZING BOOK - I'M NOT KIDDING. UNTOLD LA is a unique book in my experience, an extraordinarily detailed, beautifully illustrated exploration of a lesser-known part of one of the most famous cities in the world. It's alive to the history of how a community came into being, what it's like to live there today, and how a quiet life in a noisy city is possible. The book is full of fascinating side notes and written with such wit and genuine wisdom that I ended up almost wanting to live there. My friend Jett Loe is an artist, and UNTOLD LA is not just a work of art, but one of the best uses of the ebook medium I've ever seen. You don't need to live in LA to enjoy this book - it's so full of insight into beauty and perhaps most important, it embraces diversity just as the neighborhood does. Every city deserves a book like this.
Amazing!. This is an amazing book about a wonderful place to live-- The West Adams District of Los Angeles. It goes way beyond being just a book about architecture, because it includes so much neighborhood vibrancy. I love the way the photos continue to vary--new and old, loved and tolerated, people and buildings, tiny details and grand visions. It's great not just as an architectural reference but as a history book and as a guide to what makes neighborhoods vital.
A new kind of architecture book. I absolutely love this new book about West Adams. The photographs are beautiful and natural. I love the audio commentaries, maps, and videos that make it all come alive. This book is clearly a labor of love and worth the time time to buy, read, watch and listen to. A great achievement.
Stunning photos, great audio commentary. There are incredible things to be seen behind the facades of older houses and Jett has done an excellent job at investigating and featuring some of the best to be found.
I call it "Home". Untold LA is a brilliant compendium of the neighborhood I am fortunate enough to call home. Having been one of Jett's Kickstarter supporters, we have been anxiously awaiting the arrival of Untold LA. That day has arrived and the result has soared beyond our expectations. The iBook is beautifully rendered with an easy flow layout, magnificent pictures and a wonderful interactive component. The audio links accompanying many of the photographs tell the story behind the image, giving the viewer insight as to what it really is like to inhabit these wonderful turn-of-the-century abodes. What a delight it is to be able to see inside so many of these wonderful homes, one often drives past the house and wonders what does the interior look like. Now we know. Not only are these great houses shown to their best advantage, but the neighborhood that they compose is also beautifully featured. This area known as Historic West Adams is home to a vibrant community of caring, loving people. It is a neighborhood that one actually gets to know their neighbors. Untold LA captures that special spirit of small-town USA that thrives in the middle of a sometimes daunting metropolis. Kudos to Jett for recognizing that special magic that has captivated so many for so long. Now on the pages of this iBook it is there for the world to discover as the lucky few, myself counted in those numbers, have the privilege of calling West Adams, home.
