Borislav Stanic’s “Museum Companion to Los Angeles” — a comprehensive manual on museums and related attractions — reveals L.A. in all its quirks. Mike Boehm writes: The guide covers 263 sites, which Stanic says is more than any other city in the world; he says New York has about 230. That L.A. is a mega-county, and not a mere city, perhaps makes the comparison a bit oranges to apples, but of course that’s just part of its hard-to-get-a-grasp-on quality. The 287-page book covers all the mainline attractions, with descriptions, photos, visitor information and, sometimes, floor plans.

    Regrets: I’ve lived here too many years, and have somehow never made it out to THE MUSEUM OF DEATH. How? How can that be...
