Fun for Residents and Tourists Alike

I would make one small addition to the other reviews. Lunchtime Walks in San Francisco, Gail Todd, is as useful for tourists as is it for residents! It became a permanent addition to our library after we were able to flip through a copy at the Rand McNally Store in San Francisco. For those not having the opportunity to peek first, this is a wonderful resource for trip planning. The walks aren't too long (about an hour for most), are centrally located, and a handy map is included with each. Information is provided on the history and the architecture of the area, shops, restaurants, picnic areas (yes, even in San Francisco there are areas for relaxing and enjoying your lunch in the great outdoors), and gorgeous views. Perfect for the visitor wanting to take some delightful jaunts including the 'must see' sites in a city that is made for walking. We've already book marked several of the 33 walks for our next visit to the city by the bay.

If you live in San Francisco, BUY THIS BOOK!!!!!

Now that Spring is here, Gail Todd's walking guide to San Francisco is indispensible for anyone living in the City and looking for a new way to explore it. Beautiful pictures, detailed maps, tons of great ideas for lunchtime walks -- this guide has it all.

You'll See The City With New Eyes

As a 20-year resident of San Francisco, I'm pretty jaded when it comes to guidebooks about my city, but this book is a real treat! The author's fresh approach and clear, concise information makes this book a pleasure to read. Buy two and give one to a friend.

The Ultimate Guide to San Francisco!

I just moved to San Francisco, and received Gail Todd's book as a Christmas present. It was the best present I've ever received. I had no idea downtown San Francisco was so beautiful, and I would have found the prospect of discovering it on my own daunting without this excellent guide. I recommend this book for anyone who lives or works in San Francisco. I also know from experience that it is a great gift to give to someone who lives in "The City."

One of the best San Francisco guide books I've read in years

It doesn't get any better than this. Gail Todd has given those of us who work in downtown San Francisco what we've always wanted -- something productive and fun to do during our lunch hours. The book contains a plethora of lunchtime walks, accompanied by easy-to-read maps and great photos. It's a wonderful way to get to know the nooks and crannies of our beautiful and fascinating city, as well as get some exercise as well. It makes the perfect Christmas gift.
