San Francisco. Portrait of a City: Portrait of a City / Portrat einer Stadt / Portrait d'une ville

I really thought this was a more recent book of events but it was not still looked like a good overall book

Fantastic photos.

I have several books in this series and generally love them, London, Paris, New York, Los Angeles. I was really looking forward to checking this one out as I love San Francisco but unfortunately I was underwhelmed. First there was a minor but irritating fault in the cover, just a small crease caused in the manufacturing process but annoyingly visible. Plus when leafing through I noticed that several pages had blemishes in the paper. As for the content, there simply weren't enough images of old San Francisco for me, that's really was I was hoping for. the last two thirds of the book seemed to concentrate more on people and society which is fine for those that want it but just not me. Sadly I've returned it and I couldn't justify the cost for the few historic images that interest me.
