Herb Caen... as we... knew and... loved him

I had an opportunity to meet and interview Caen in the middle 1980s for a TV show on the San Francisco 49ers. This book, while offering insights for those who have heard about him, will be appreciated most by those who read his column when he was San Francisco's most visible spokesman.
