Even though these guides are out of print, the look and history they provide is unique and engaging.

Lovely little book with lots of history, biographies, and SF trivia…and some great old photos and prints. I’ve lived in and around the City for decades and found a great deal of info I didn’t know. The copy I have is dated, but I am sure there are newer revisions out there.
