My wife and I have lived in the San Francisco Bay Area for over 30 years, and prefer San Francisco over every other American city that we know--and we've visited most of the big ones. Naturally that means that we take many out-of-state visitors for a day in the city, and have a mental list of the things they might enjoy seeing and doing. Many of our frequent targets is represented in San Francisco : The City's Sights and Secrets, so that we're using the book with prospective visitors to plan their day in the city. The pictures are vibrant with accurate captions, and brief but excellent accompanying text.

We've also started to use this book as a token of appreciation for our hosts when we travel. When they thank us for it, it is usually with enough enthusiasm that we know they are pleased to have it.

The reader should be aware that this is not a complete guide book. It deals only with the sights and sounds of the city--not with the practical details such as accomodation, travel connections, restaurants, city and area maps, ... But then, you can get those from AAA publications or similar sources. We see this book as simply for communicating to others why we are so keen on San Francisco, and to help them plan their own visits.

It may interest the reader that we are endorsing this short review with a new order for a dozen copies!

I'm planning a trip to San Francisco. Beyond a travel guide, the photos inspire me and let me know what not to miss, in a visual way.

Fantastic pictures, high quality, great for a new visitor of the city to get a flavor of San Francisco.

Book arrived promptly as promised. Excellent condition. Excellent packaging. A thoroughly satisfactory transaction. Five stars to the vendor and my thanks!
