"Not only the most physically ambitious of Ruscha's books, but the most flamboyant." — Parr &amp; Badger Ruscha's fourth book captures the Sunset Strip at a particular moment in time. A monumental and continuous accordion-fold scroll that opens to more than 25 feet, Ruscha documents — as the title suggests — the entirety of the Strip, with even numbered addresses running along the top the page and odd facing opposite along the bottom. "The effect is less like the fluid cinematic pan […] than a series of jolting jump cuts […] a ragged progression of gas stations, motels, apartment houses, parking lots, strip-malls, and honky-tonk signage" (Parr 182).

Ruscha's first attempt to photograph the strip on foot failed as parked cars got in the way. He resolved this problem by driving up and down Sunset Boulevard with a motor-driven 35mm camera fixed to his truck, photographing every building between Hollywood and Beverly Hills. The resulting photographs were laid out and joined together. The even-numbered south side runs along the top, the north side along the bottom, with the corresponding numbers printed below each building and names of cross streets. This accurate record of a period of extraordinary growth in Los Angeles is representative of the urban sprawl taking place throughout the United States.
