5.0 out of 5 stars My 4th copy!, July 15, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Betty and Pansy's Severe Queer Review of San Franciso: An Irreverent, Opinionated Guide to the Bars, Clubs, Restaurants, Cruising Areas, Performing Arts, and Other Attractions of the Queer Mecca (Paperback)

I travel to San Francisco every year and I "never leave home without Betty & Pansy"! They get down to the nitty gritty and give you a feel of what each venue is like and the customers who frequent it. The "Review" is indispensible for any gay or lesbian going to the city by the bay.

5.0 out of 5 stars B&P's Book is the BEST Travel Guide Ever!, June 24, 1997

By A Customer

This review is from: Betty & Pansy's Severe Queer Review of San Francisco: An Irreverent, Opinionated Guide to the Bars, Clubs, Restaurants, Cruising Areas, Bookstores and Other Attractions of San Francisco (Paperback)

Betty and Pansy have written the best, most helpful guide to SF for tourists, people who have moved here and long-time residents alike. It contains reviews of every gay and lesbian bar in town (there are over 70!) as well as bookstores, cruising spots clubs, etc. B&P have been there so you can know in advance whether its worth the trip! The book is written in a witty, irreverent style that, in addition to being incredibly helpful, makes it a scream to read. If you buy no other travel guide for your trip to SF, get B&P! They rule!

This review is from: Betty & Pansy's Severe Queer Review of San Francisco: An Irreverent, Opinionated Guide to the Bars, Clubs, Restaurants, Cruising Areas, Bookstores and Other Attractions of San Francisco (Paperback)

As a former resident of SF, I thought it captured the mood of the city and I liked the sassy writing style.
