Wonderful book by the famous San Francisco Chronicle writer, Herb Caen. "Mr. Caen writes lovingly and laughingly about the city that has outgrown its nickname. He writes of its Bay, its buildings, and its bridges, of its inclined streets and of its rather disinclined weather. But most of all he writes about its people."
Published by Doubleday, Garden City, 1953. 287 pages. First Edition. Bright yellow cloth hard cover binding is almost as new.
Pictorial dust jacket in good condition with light chipping on edges. Now protected in a Mylar cover.
"This is not a book for San Franciscans alone. It's for everybody who has ever been there or who will want to go there after reading it."
