 A Little Book Packed Plum Full of SF |
| Review Date: November 22, 2007 |

| San Francisco is a great place to explore - it is compact, photogenic and well-served by public transportation. Seeing the famous sites is fine but the true San Francisco experience is found in strolling the streets and nosing around the stores of its eclectic neighborhoods. The Little Black Book of SF is a handy guide for just such an SF adventure. The book is small enough to fit into most pockets while the spiral bound construction inside a sturdy cover and thick pages insure that it is going to stand up to the rigors of your SF adventure. This book is not a thorough discussion of all things SF but rather a heads up of what to look for once you find yourself in Cow Hollow or Bernal Heights or any of the City's other districts. There are 10 handy little maps at the start of each district chapter followed by recommendations of what to see, where to shop, where to eat,drink and dance as well as what might be interesting to the kids. If you are a person that likes to travel light while in search of the genuine culture, this book is for you. |
A must-have for exploring the city!

| I just returned from a long weekend in San Francisco, and this tour guide (supplemented with some to-do-and-eat suggestions from local residents) was my bible! I planned many of my stops around the suggestions in this guide and was not disappointed. The portable nature of the book was also a bonus. I would recommend (as did a previous reviewer) tabs for each neighborhood. You may want to create your own with mini post-it notes for easy access. I highly recommend this book for those planning a trip to San Francisco. |

This is a fabulous asset for travel in San Francisco. The very smart design makes it
simple to take with you everywhere because it is small, and ring-bound. The map for each section folds out and you can use it to bookmark a section. Points of interest are divided into categories, and described in more detail in the section beyond the map. Transit routes are marked as well. The only improvement I can think of is tabs for each map, to make it quicker to find them by number. If you leave your heart in San Francisco, as I did, this book will help you when you go to find it, and lose it, again.

| Went on a SFO trip last fall. This was quite valuable, especially when exploring the city on foot or taking public transportation. Has great suggestions for what to do, where to eat, shop at every SFO neighborhood. Compact and easy to use. |
The best little guide

| I am looking forward to using this on my trip to San Francisco. The fold-out maps have everything on them, including all types of public transportation. The information is not overwhelming like some guides. I love how each area of the city has its own section. |
Great little book, plus it's got maps!!

I bought this book as a last minute impulse item before going to San Francisco trip with friends. It was great, just enough info to point out the highlights when you are going to certain area, but not too much to get bogged down reading it. (I read it on the plane and it took me maybe 30 minutes to get through.)
The book itself is small & lightweight enough to carry with you in a purse or bag, plus it has maps of the city so it saves you having to carry additional maps. Very handy! |

| We found this book very helpful during our San Francisco vacation. It was easy to carry around and broke the city down into neighborhoods, which was great. The foldout maps were the best, never felt lost! |
Good, But Maps Could Be Larger

We purchased this guidebook prior to a trip to San Francisco, where it came in very handy.
This is a great book for navigating San Francisco and finding places. The size was very convenient, but the maps could have been larger. Then again, it wouldn't be pocket size, would it?
But this guide provides only basic information about restaurants, shops and such. There are limited reviews and recommendations. We used it conjunction with Best Places to Kiss in Northern California, which provides more in-depth information and reviews.
