Summary: Skip This Buy The Regular DK Guide
Comment: 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.

Summary: Great concise guide to SF
Comment: 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!

Summary: Disagree with negative reviews: well worth the money!
Comment: I have the previous edition of this book, and it was the only reference (beside some tips from friends on things to do) that we used to find our way around and find cool things to check out while in San Francisco last December. The photos (yes, there's a lot of them) were actually pretty useful, I thought, since they served as a very good guide for what to look for when we hit a particular neighborhood, in terms of landmarks. We found the guide also to be right on in terms of restaurant references and pricing information, and if you want to stretch your trip to San Fran a bit, it also provides useful info for excursions into Napa Valley and the like. All in all, a nice little guide I totally recommend: not your street-by-street atlas, that's granted, but very useful nevertheless.
