[.ca] Eyewitness Travel Guides Top Ten San Francisco (ISBN 0789491907)

Skip This Buy The Regular DK Guide:
This is a scaled down version of the regular Eyewitness San Francisco book. I have to confess up front. I love these books. I must have a dozen. I really like the Paris book, and the one for Prague, and Stockholm, and South Africa, and .... You get all the detailed material similar to other great travel books plus you get great visuals. The photos and descriptions and cutaway drawings are excellent and more than make up for any lack of small detail. But there is lots of detail here. The book includes the history of San Francisco and many details on the art, art galleries, parks, cutaway views of historical buildings, and many other things of interest. That is the good part. The bad part is why buy this book when there is a much better Eyewitness Travel book on the city for a few extra dollars. The big book is 5 stars. This is an edited and scaled down sibling. Recommendation: skip this thin 2 star or 3 star book and just buy the regular book which is easily a 5 star book. Jack in Toronto

Great concise guide to SF:
I've visited San Fran twice over the last three years, and must honestly say, that this is a very good book to have when visiting SF. Although not as detailed as Lonely Planet's SF city guide, which is black and white, with a few color maps, Top 10 SF, is a great companion book to LP's. Both may be used in unison, and no other guides are necessary. This by far is THE top 10 guidebook to SF!
