Summary: Won't Steer You Wrong
Comment: The Best Places series of guidebooks is the best I've ever used. Many guidebooks strive for comprehensiveness. This one doesn't. Instead, it offers a limited (but still copious) number of descriptions of good places (especially for food). The reviews are longer than the usual guidebook reviews, giving you a good sense of the atmosphere and menu. I've never had a bad meal following a recommendation of this book. My only regret is that this guidebook series is only available for the Pacific coast - I think that reflects on their dedication to quality and actually sampling all the places they list.

Summary: Comprehensive and quite complete guide to Bay area
Comment: If you've checked your local bookstore recently, you know that books on San Francisco are proliferate and sometimes too similar to distinguish one from another. THis book, however, is a terrific addition to any Bay ARea lover's bookshelf. The more than 400 pages are organized by activity/venue and include the inside scoop on local places to shop, eat, visit and partake of, as well as well-known sites and stops. INcluded are lists of weekend jaunts (with lodging, restaurant and shopping information), all levels of dining, from downhome to upscale gourmet, and TOp 25 lists to direct those with limited time to explore. The star rating scale seems to be fair, from the perspective of a frequent San Francisco traveler. Only drawback is that superlatives are peppered throughout the reviews and can be misleading if you don't read carefully.

A nice addition to MY already-burgeoning bookshelf!
