It was a joy to tour San Francisco through the words and images of Solnit and her collaborators.

I'd really like to give this book 3.5 stars. Goodreads feature request? My expectations were so high for this book (hey Rebecca Solnit), but some of the essays were a little too preachy and nostalgic for the "golden years" for me. The essay about the Mission was my favourite, and the last one about San Francisco treasures made me excited to go exploring. I just wish I'd felt that way more consistently through the book.
