1 Great Book for Light Traveling!
We took this book to San Francisco and found it to be an excellent reference guide. There's just enough information for each subject that it gives you a good idea of the major points without being overly detailed. While it may be true that the bigger DK guide has more information, I prefer a simpler summary and find it pretty accurate in its listings of the "Top 10" for each area (dining, outside attractions, etc.) Loaded with information without weighing down any of your luggage!

2 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.

3 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!

It is through symbols that man consciously or unconsciously lives, works

and has his being.

		-- Thomas Carlyle





	My message is not that biological determinists were bad scientists or

even that they were always wrong.  Rather, I believe that science must be

understood as a social phenomenon, a gutsy, human enterprise, not the work of

robots programmed to collect pure information.  I also present this view as

an upbeat for science, not as a gloomy epitaph for a noble hope sacrificed on

the alter of human limitations.

	I believe that a factual reality exists and that science, though often

in an obtuse and erratic manner, can learn about it.  Galileo was not shown

the instruments of torture in an abstract debate about lunar motion.  He had

threatened the Church's conventional argument for social and doctrinal

stability:  the static world order with planets circling about a central

earth, priests subordinate to the Pope and serfs to their lord.  But the

Church soon made its peace with Galileo's cosmology.  They had no choice; the

earth really does revolve about the sun.
