Summary: no book could be as great as the daily column
Comment: Most of us barely read dailies any more. Imagine a time when you bought a daily just to read one man's column? My mom, for example, subscribed to the Chron (200 miles away from the City) just so we could read Herb Caen.

Some folk read weeklies for the columns and personae. I know in Seattle, f'rinstance, that Dan Savage and The Stranger had a brief fling with that town. But self-promotion and cigarette-marketing do not provide the right conditions for true journalistic Love.

Herb Caen was one classy guy. These selections from his three-dot columns take us to a San Francisco that no longer exists, a San Francisco that will never change, a San Francisco of "love and hate, pot and booze, despair and buckets of black coffee, most of it stale."
