Thomas Guides

If you live in or near a big city like Los Angeles -- as we do --Thomas Guides are simply indispensable. It's hard to find a more comprehensive book of city street maps. We have used them for years to help pinpoint streets all over Los Angeles and Orange Counties and to discover detours around congested freeways.

They are fully indexed and have an extensive list of points of interest. You'll find everything from beaches and harbors to cemeteries, city halls, hospitals, hotels, colleges, museums, libraries and recreation facilities. You'll get the exact street address and phone number, plus a page and grid location, so you can easily pinpoint each place on a detailed color map.

These map books are not just for cities in Northern and Southern California. They also available for cities in Arizona, Idaho, Nevada, Oregon and the state of Washington.

Even with gps technology, these guides are still great to have in your car. You never know when technology will fail and you need a map you can hold. The ring binding makes them very easy to use. They open and lie flat.

Now these wonderful map books come with CDs. Install the maps on your laptop and you're good to go.
