Query: The Los Angeles Barrio; a moderate book

I've seen beter, and I've seen worse. This book, though it has some good factual info, tends to whine and drag on into infinity. It lacks solid reasoning on it's assertions, and generally, excluding the factual info it contains, should not have gone to press. But, hey, with a topic like a The Los Angeles Barrio, how could it not. If you fell off a cliff, are stuck in traction and want to get some early California history to fall asleep to, this is the book to get.
