Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Won't live home without it.
Review: For the first time in a long time I have found a travel book that tells me exactly what I need to enjoy my vacation.

Paula Tevis deliverys the goods. No more flipping through page after page to search for information I need. Tevis has put together a book for the true road warrior. With clarity and brevity she brings San Fransico alive. Its obvious that Tevis knows this town inside and out.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: great book
Review: I bought this book back in February for a trip to San Francisco with my husband. I've been to San Francisco before around 13 years ago, but it was my husband's first trip to San Francisco. We carried the book with us all the time and the tips that it gave us were excellent, everything worked out great. For example, we did not rented a car and we made it all the way to the Golden gate bridge outside the city, following the book's tips to use the public bus. Another great tip, was to buy a three-day ticket to the MUNI (and it worked for bus, cable cars and electric cars). The restaurant suggestions for Chinatown and The Mission District were great. Good tips on how to avoid tourists traps. Great tips on planning itineraries and we felt like we saw all the most important attractions/sights in San Francisco. We hit a rainy afternoon and all we had to do was turn our book on the page on what to do if it's raining, great! I will defenetily buy books from these series again.

Have fun in your trip!

Summary: who was your fact checker?
Review: I was disappointed overall with the transportation information, especially when the book gave incorrect directions to the Ferry Plaza Farmer's Market. Above all, a guidebook should be accurate. This book definitely isn't.
