The Cheap Bastard's Guide to San Francisco: Secrets for Living the Good Life--for Free!

by Karen Solomon

Following in the tradition of the popular C heap Bastard's(tm) Guide to New York City, this wry, exhaustively researched book reveals secrets that even the cheapest Bay Area dweller may not know about. From the obvious to the obscure, the sophisticated to the sophomoric, it catalogs the endless opportunities for free goods and services, delighting skinflint visitors and natives alike. With attitude and humor, it tells how to obtain theater and museum admission, health care and yoga classes, free furniture and pets, food and wine, and much more. With the Cheap Bastard as a friend and guide, anyone can celebrate life on the cheap!

This is great. I borrowed it from the library and now want to buy a copy. It'll be good to have around the house for guests, or for those moments when we want to go try something new in our own town. I didn't even realize until after I'd returned the book that I know the author. Double cool.

I wish that I had read this book BEFORE going to San Francisco. I hadn't realized that so many things were cheap or free there!
