San Francisco's Treasure Island
An excellent history of the World's Fair of 1938-39. My wife is a native of Oakland and with her brother and friends spent many days and nights there. She's sent copies to them. I attended the Fair several times from a little greater distance and remember seeing Benny Goodman and Count Basie play there. A excellent book for bringing back good memories.

Too Much Expo
The Golden Gate Exposition was only two years in the history of Treasure Island while the Navy was there 36 years. This book is 60% on the Expo and less than 30% on the years the Navy was there. In my opinion, I would have liked to have had the book be more in proportion to the actual years of the Expo and the Navy.

Nice history of the Island. That said I was very disappointed at the lack of good coverage of the time the navy was on the island.
