Description:
Quirky, dynamic, breathtaking, and wonderfully overwhelming--there is no singular way to describe San Francisco. If it is possible to capture the spirit of this amazing Californian city in one book, then San Francisco: A Photographic Celebration is the book to do it. More than anything, it celebrates the diversity of the city's cultures, landscapes, people, and architecture. Spectacular shots of the modern San Francisco skyline are juxtaposed with photos of the Palace of Fine Arts, an exquisite Egyptian-style building of vast proportions. The famous bay windows on Telegraph Hill are in striking contrast to the charming but cluttered storefronts of Chinatown. Few words are required to describe this city, as the photography says it all. But for good measure, snippets of San Francisco nostalgia are thrown in: the Transworld Getaway Guide of 1975-1976 astutely observed, "When you get tired of walking around San Francisco, you can always lean against it." It's hard to imagine ever getting tired of this beautiful place. --Naomi Gesinger
