My father was a native of San Francisco. While a very young woman, he gave me "the best book every written about San Francisco." He'd had it for many years, and wanted to share it with me. It was called, "This Is San Francisco." The description of the City, wonderful accounts of famous streets and how their names originated, facinated me. I married, and cherished the book for years. Six months ago, my book was lost. Where, when, I do not know. However; it is gone. Yesterday, upon visiting the San Mateo Library on another matter, I ran the information about "This Is San Francisco" through the coumputer. I believed it to be out of print. To my delight, it had been reissued. I located the book; but did not check it out. I wish to order this book, so that I once again, own, as Dad said: " The best book every written about San Francisco.

Its history filled with more larger-than-life characters and colorful stories than most cities twice its age, San Francisco has always gloried as much in the past as in the present. Published nearly 50 years ago and now available in paperback for the first time, This Is San Francisco is an affectionate, lively, carefully researched chronicle of the city from its inception to the end of World War II, as well as an unabashedly romantic portrait of its streets, neighborhoods, and people. Covering every part of the city, from the Embarcadero to Russian Hill, from Cow Hollow to Cliff House, this engaging, evocative volume opens the door for a new generation to San Francisco's rich and unforgettable past.--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
