The San Francisco You've Never Seen Before!!!

Forget the touristy books--this one really gave me a taste of distilled San Francisco! Roberts uncovers delicious morsels about Chinatown, the 1906 earthquake and fire, the city's 1950s heydays, and Sam Spade's favorite haunts. There is a very funny section that answers such questions as Where have all the flower children gone? and why there is no beach in North Beach. An amusing, highly entertaining book! I heartily recommend it to natives and visitors alike!
