1.0 out of 5 stars Doesn't live up to its name, January 6, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: The Cheapskate's Guide To San Francisco: Where to Go, What to See, Where to Shop, Where to Stay-All on a Limited Budget (Paperback)

This book was very disappointing. I expected to find tips on finding cheap sleeps and cheap eats. There were tips, of course. But when I followed them, I found that they were not cheap at all! I thought the whole lay out of the book was confusing and uninteresting. There are much better alternative travel guides out there than this one. It wasn't worth the money I paid for it!

1.0 out of 5 stars Has the author ever VISITED San Francisco?, June 17, 2001

I keep guidebooks on hand for my friends when they visit me in the Bay Area. This is the worst book I've ever mistakenly purchased by far. It's so bad that is as if the author wrote a book about things her Aunt Sally told her about a trip to SF in 1953. Clueless, yet humorous for natives. (She suggests a visit to some annual rodeo out here, and I don't think she meant it for cruising.) Do not for any reason (other than a laugh) buy this book.
