Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
This combination history/guidebook is divided into ten chapters, each of which provides background information on San Francisco's historic buildings, museums, and artifacts. Profiles of sites or attractions include hours of operation, costs, and a quick biographical sketch of a key figure. Four walking tours, a brief review of the sites, a chronology of events beginning with 1542, a discussion of San Francisco's Victorian architecture, and a review of the earthquake of 1989 are also included. With more versatile and comprehensive guidebooks to San Francisco available, like Randolph Delehanty's San Francisco: The Ultimate Guide ( LJ 6/1/89) and Richard Wurman's practical San Francisco Access (Access Pr., 1991), this is a discretionary purchase for most libraries.

"...a wonderfully concise one-volume history of the city...in a remarkably accessible and enjoyable format."
