Title: A Repeat of Other Prima Guides
Review: Relocating to Los Angeles and Orange County is the highest-ranking book on the topic, but a much better book for your money is the Newcomer's Handbook for Los Angeles. All the books in the Relocating to... series published by Prima (of which I've seen several) provide little original information. The bulk of the book is a word-for-word repeat of generic moving information that has nothing to do with Los Angeles in particular. Additionally, the part of the book that *is* specific to Los Angeles appears to leave key areas out. The Newcomer's Handbook series, on the other hand, is completely specific to the L.A. area -- no boilerplate information here. You'll find more-detailed neighborhood info, better maps, and more pertinent information on services that can help you find places to live. The Relocating to... series doesn't provide anything that you couldn't find by looking in the Yellow Pages (in print or online).
