DK Eyewitness Travel Guide : San Francisco & Northern California

Like all the DK books it has a nice collection of pictures which makes it easier to anticipate what you are going to see. I found the suggestions about activities / destinations pretty good, but I think their recommendations on lodging, and especially food miss the mark. Like most guides, very little useful information about the space between San Francisco and San Jose.

I visited San Francisco over 30 years ago, and decided it was my favorite city in the U.S. Haven't been back since, but am planning a trip one year soon with Nancy, to include a drive up the coastal highway to Seattle, then fly home. This seemed like the best convenient source of travel info, compactly arranged and efficiently organized. I've used the DK guides for other trips, and always found them helpful and easy to use. The only problem is, now I want to do and see a lot more than we'll probably have time for.
