Well-organized, decent little guide series. Not quite as impressive as those published by Dorling-Kindersley, but not bad, either. Excellent in-flight reading material. Bonus points for the great little restaurant map guide in the back pocket.

This book is pretty good for a first-timer's visit to San Francisco, as it covers all the touristy areas. But if you want a more intimate visit to San Francisco, this book is not for you.
