Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I came across this guide thanks to a neighbor who we asked for advice planning our trip to San Francisco.
They showed us this book and said that they used it all the time when they lived there. We have been reading it and it has proven a big help in selecting our itinerary and our hotels, restaurants and coffee shops and walking and hiking paths. We feel like we are getting advice from someone who lives in the City. The edition we borrowed is 1999 and is 4th edition. The one on Amazon is 5th edition but still old. So, it will be a great guide and it has photos that capture the spirit of the City. We'll still buy a newer guide as well. We noticed that this compass guide was published under auspices of Frommer so we'll check out their latest 2008 guidebook as well. But, this Compass edition goes into our library.
