Best book ever written about San Francisco

My father was a native of San Francisco. While a very young woman, he gave me "the best book every written about San Francisco." He'd had it for many years, and wanted to share it with me. It was called, "This Is San Francisco." The description of the City, wonderful accounts of famous streets and how their names originated, facinated me. I married, and cherished the book for years. Six months ago, my book was lost. Where, when, I do not know. However; it is gone. Yesterday, upon visiting the San Mateo Library on another matter, I ran the information about "This Is San Francisco" through the coumputer. I believed it to be out of print. To my delight, it had been reissued. I located the book; but did not check it out. I wish to order this book, so that I once again, own, as Dad said: " The best book every written about San Francisco.
