With wit and perception and his distinguished style, M. Sasek pictures charming, cosmopolitan San Francisco in This is San Francisco, first published in 1962 and now updated for the 21st century. Who would have thought that Yerba Buena, the small village established by Spanish colonists from Mexico in 1776, would one day become verdant San Francisco, the hilly city by the Golden Gate, the Queen of the West? From Lombard Street - the crookedest in the world - to clattering cable cars to king-size crabs at Fisherman's Wharf - there's beauty, magic and romance, This is San Francisco!
