read on the plane on the way to san francisco.

got the main attractions, some of the good stuff going on in the city. format seemed clunky.

most of these books cover the same main events, but i think i enjoy the lonely planet series much more.

It has been a couple of years since I last went to San Francisco. Reading this book with a lot of current information made me think about going back to visit one of my favourite travel destinations. Well researched, written, and organized book!
