" ...a way cool guide that manages to raise the art of irreverence to a new level..." -- Chicago Tribune
"Very much an alternative to the typical visitors' guide... as much a help for decadeslong denizens as wide-eyed sightseers." -- San Francisco Chronicle, December 5, 2002

Find What You Want in San Francisco with This Guide!,
By "orthophonicman" (Sacramento, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Underground Guide to San Francisco 2 Ed (Paperback)
This guide is packed with great information to get whatever it is you're looking for in San Francisco. I found the book to be user friendly, down to earth, and honest. Since I am a vinyl junkie, I was thrilled to look in the index and find the heading for "Record Stores". This guide was extremely useful when exploring "The Haight", my favorite area of The City. Bravo to the contributors, and to the Manic D production team, for this great Second Edition!
