Freewaytopia: How Freeways Shaped Los Angeles
The first complete history about the development of freeways in Los Angeles
Written by a local author with a successful track record (10,000 Steps in L.A.)
Significant journalists and historians will contribute endorsements and a well-known Angeleno will write the foreword.
While the core audience will definitely be fans of Automotive Pop Culture and the History of Los Angeles, plenty of readers interested in Transportation, Civil Engineering, and the development of the automobile will purchase the book.
The two editions of Paul Haddad’s previous book, 10,000 Steps a Day in L.A., have sold nearly 15,000 copies and sales are still climbing from the second edition released last year.
Paul Haddad’s books include the Los Angeles Times bestseller, 10,000 Steps a Day in L.A.: 57 Walking Adventures, and High Fives, Pennant Drives, and Fernandomania: A Fan’s History of the Los Angeles Dodgers’ Glory Years, 1977-1981 (named one of the Best Baseball Books of 2012 by the Daily News). As a Hollywood-born native, he has written about Los Angeles for the Los Angeles Times and hosted a column on Huffington Post about L.A.’s forgotten history. He has authored three award-winning novels, including the L.A. Noir Paradise Palms: Red Menace Mob. A graduate of University of Southern California’s School of Cinematic Arts, Haddad has been nominated for multiple Emmys as a documentary producer. PaulHaddadBooks.com @la_dorkout
