A pleasant little book to savour
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
This book makes a great gift item for anyone in your life who lives/has lived/enjoyed a visit to - San Francisco. Scattered throughout the 140 pages or so is a stunning collection of photographs and prints capturing the colorful majesty of America's, "city by the bay." Accompanying these artworks are snippets of prose by writers ranging from Mark Twain to William Gibson, ruminating on the various charms and quirks of the foggy city. The best prose snippet comes from William Saroyan as he recollects an eye-opening collection of sights and sounds as he visits the 1915 World's Fair as a young boy travelling with a group of fellow orphans. All in all a nice book for anyone with an appreciation for all the charms that San Francisco has to offer.
