Los Angeles's Angels FlightFrom 1901 to 1969, Angels Flight was America s most famous incline railway, familiar from its many appearances on postcards and in pulp fiction and film noir. It inspired the titles of five novels, including a 1999 best seller, and three films.

From 1901 to 1969, Angels Flight was America s most famous incline railway, familiar from its many appearances on postcards and in pulp fiction and film noir. It inspired the titles of five novels, including a 1999 best seller, and three films. Angels Flight s two colorful trolleys glided up and down the side of Bunker Hill in the heart of Los Angeles, carrying 100 million passengers between a downtown business district and a Victorian aerie that gradually deteriorated into a gritty slum. When the city turned Bunker Hill into an acropolis of skyscrapers, Angels Flight was packed up like a boy s electric train set and stored away for nearly 30 years. After a restoration in the mid-1990s that led to a fatal accident, Angels Flight has reopened and is now ready to claim its next chapters in Los Angeles history."

Informative and fun book
Format: Hardcover
The story itself is very informative and playful in its approach to helping the reader understand the process of selecting and training service dogs. The star that was knocked off is not reflective of the product, but the shipping process or the packaging department which delivered another book with a ripped dust jacket. In reality the intended recipient will take that off anyway, so I am not returning it. It seems wasteful. However, if this gift was intended for anyone other than a family member, I would have. Amazon needs to train its packaging departments are better. But I suppose as long as we all keep buying, they will not.

Inspiring story and gorgeous illustrations
Format: Hardcover
Such an inspiring story about life, love, courage and all of the people that work so hard to train and care for service dogs. The deep bond between a service dog and their owner is such a beautiful thing to see. I love seeing people living their best life with their service dogs out in public and when I read this book I felt it was the perfect way to spread awareness and hope especially to young kids. I highly recommend this book and I hope Canine Companions comes out with more in the future either following Andy’s life or maybe from a childs perspective who’s parents adopt a canine companions dog and how her/his life improves as a result.
