[Here is an excerpt] Dear Reader: Once again we have "sent" Dennis to one of your favorite places, by sending our artist-writer team to Hollywood. Artist Al Wiseman is very familiar with Southern California, having lived there, and writer Fred Toole made two separate trips to Los Angeles to gather authentic on-the-spot material for this book.
