Review: A window in time with great graphics - not just for kids - Just delightful! Yes, it's several decades old with a few new updates, but it manages to convey the sense of "This is new! This is exciting!" of someone visiting San Francisco for the first time in 1962. This is true of many of M. Sasek's other books, though some of the later ones lack the fun of the earlier MCM graphics. I also recommend his Rome, Paris, Munich, and Way to the Moon. They are probably best suited for ages 6 and up, but adults love them, too.
Review: An all-time classic - This is a favorite of my family and myself. I have purchased a copy for my niece and my son to go along with the copy my parents still have from my youth. every home needs one! Having grown up in SF this remains a special reminder of the history of the place and the illustrations are marvelous. I don't know if individual prints from Sasek are available, but I'd love to get some framed from this book. If you've ever wanted a quick taste of a place, This is San Francisco is a great primer for any child.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ another informative entry in the sasek series
*by M***R on May 23, 2011*

sasek's books are all visually lovely, no doubt about it, however they are also incredibly informative, which i quite appreciate. this book is littered with amazing images and interesting facts. i also found this entry to be a lovely springboard of ideas on a recent trip to san francisco (the largest chinatown in the united states!). and as with all the updated printings of sasek's books, there is a welcome list of "this is the city...today!" at the end of the book with changes listed since the original printing. it is great to see both the way the city WAS as well as the present day differences. i highly recommend this book if you are interested in either san francisco, or simply in wonderful illustration.
