While the title suggests this brochure highlights the California Pacific International Exposition in San Diego, it is actually an advertising piece for nearby Los Angeles published by the National Travel Service. The central feature is Gerald Eddy's unusual map of Los Angeles under the view of a magnifying glass. Surrounding the map are listings for hotels, restaurants, amusements, and more which are keyed to the map. The verso contains a regional map of Southern California extending from Santa Barbara to San Diego and locating the Exposition grounds. Self-folding (4.0 x 9.2"). No institutional copies located on OCLC.
