San Francisco
This book tells the story of the city's ascent; its people, great moments, and feats of architecture.

It includes photographs of the city's best loved sights such as the Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz, Chinatown, the Ferry Building and Embarcadero as well as intriguing fragments of the past, such as vintage photos of the aftermath of the 1906 earthquake, Telegraph Hill's Coit Tower, and Ghirardelli Square.

Great original photos of "The City"
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
I lived in San Francisco for many years, and I love this book. I am impressed that it contains mostly original photos, rather than the same ones you see over and over.
