Summary: Not for Serious Photographers!
Review: I was greatly disappointed by the book and immediately returned it. This book contains ONLY so-called "drive-by shootings" - it's obvious this author made little efforts to capture the best lights or composition. These "snapshots" were mostly taken in the mid-day sun, when almost all advanced photographers avoid taking pictures. This book is probably intended for tourists on a bus-tour, but not for serious photographers.If you have money to waste on this book, buy two copies of "The Photographer's Guide to Yosemite" by Michael Frye. The latter book is truly a work of art and I was deeply inspired by every image in it. It's hard to believe these two books - on the other extremes - are priced about the same.

Summary: An excellent source, BUT.....and a big BUT........
Review: If you're going to spring for this book spend the extra $7, or so, and get the "San Francisco and Northern California" book in the same series. This book is essentially reprinted (word for word, picture for picture) as the last part of that book, a superb resource in its own right.

Summary: Excellent! Very helpful!
Review: This book really helped us take awesome photos. The time of day recommendation was the best part. We took photos with the recommended time and photos that were just random times. . . of the same sight, and the recommended time pictures turned out the best. It really helped us determine where to go and what sights to see. We utilized the weather information in the book and the ten photography tips. I highly recommend this book to those that want GREAT pictures! Well worth it!
