Sharks (Little Guides (San Francisco, Calif.).) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I am completely delighted with "The Little Guides" series.

HugoSF Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Too smart for a guilty pleasure and too fun for a "good-for-you" book, anyone who worked through the dot com boom and bust will love HugoSF. Actually, anyone who was too young to work during those days should read this as a cautionary tale. I felt like I personally knew half of Hannan's characters back...

Best Places San Francisco Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)BEST PLACES SAN FRANCISCO is a great guide to the Bay Area, including Marin County, the East Bay, and the Wine Country. However, the radio station listing is not up to date; in fact, it was outdated when this book was published in 2000, and should be taken like the humor in such movies/TV shows as SABRINA,...
