Looks like a great book!
I have too many favorite LA buildings to pick just one... The architecture here is most of my reason for loving it! I'll go with the Schindler House on King's Road. It's representative of the kind of creativity that spawned so much more.

mteson[at]gmail.com
My favorite LA building is the postmodern KFC on Western in Koreatown. Hee.
Definitely want to put my name in the hat for this book!
atruschel@gmail.com
My favorite building(s) in L.A. would have to be the newer Getty, just off of the 405. And it's free!! (The Architecture tour is well worth it, btw!)
Hmm that KFC building is pretty amazing, but my favorite exterior structure is probably the Observatory.

While there are many wonderful buildings to love in LA, I'm going with my first love from back in the 50s: The Capitol Records building.

Having recently relocated to Venice Beach from New Zealand, your website has provided me with a constant source of inspiration, even if I don't receive the book, this posting and the subsequent comments have given me an endless new wealth of buildings to get out and see!

the orpheum theatre!
djcristina at gmail.com
i do love the Walt Disney Concert Hall, but i'll send my vote out for my neighborhood favorite: the old Culver Hotel. not so flashy, but still strong & classy.
Fancy!
LOVE case study house #22
merkinpak@gmail.com
Don't pick me because I immediately bought this book after you posted it.
My favorite house is the Case Study house right next to the Eames residence. I met the gentleman that grew up in it and he told me wonderful stories about the house, Charles & Ray, and Neutra. Plus he told me his life highlights and gave me some advice to "not be afraid to take chances or make changes."
Sure, I'd love the Loft book. But more than that, I want to LIVE in a loft...
well, you know, case study houses are just great. such fine designers as eames and schindler and neutra are aces in my book. and the Bradbury? i love that building for "demon with a glass hand"!
but the one that i would pick is lautner's Chemosphere, now owned by one of your brother publishers, benedikt taschen.
but in a way, it goes against everything represented by living in a loft! ;)
have a fine day.

ooh, exciting!

designismine@hotmail.com
I would love to win the copy, but living in Europe, and haven't been to LA ever, i cannot name any building in La :-(((, well, i'll try anyway: 36m2(at)gmx.ch.
Looks like a good book.
My favorite building in downtown is the underappreciated DWP building and fountains at Hope and first Street.

I haven't been to LA, so I don't really have a favorite building. One more reason to put it on my list of places to visit. :)
The Greene and Greene house in Pasadena is so lovely. The tour of it is well worth the time.
Also Anais Nin's house in Silverlake is beautiful - but I've only seen it in pictures.
yeknomlana@gmail.com
My favorite building is this old converted industrial building that has lofts and two old service elevators. Its just south of the 10 and east of the tracks. it was so beautiful at night looking at downtown on the roof top.
I can t wait to see this wonderful book. And hope you dont care to send it to Spain, cause I live there. Thanks
my favourite building there is the getty museum
