 Eyewitness for San Francisco September 3, 2008
This one is pretty to look at but a little light on practicality. We opted for others. For an illustrated colorful overview for what's in store if you visit, its worth a lookysee.
 Excellent Travel Book! August 30, 2008
I used this to plan my family trip to San Francisco just a few weeks ago and it was SO useful!
I've always enjoyed the Eyewitness books because of the wonderful color photo's and descriptions. This book is no different! I like to see pictures of travel destinations because it's helps to find and recognize it once I'm there. The book has all the information I needed to plan out our 9 day trip.
It has a section of hotels, restaurants and stores, but being that there are literally TONS of them in SF, the book does not cover them all. It did give a great overview of the ones listed though.
I will always look to the Eyewitness Travel books for other travel adventures!
 Somewhat informative; busy layout not conducive to quick reference July 6, 2008

I bought this book for a 4-day trip and needed an easy to use guide book, but it was a bit outdated (restaurants listings were not correct) and sight-seeing tips were boring and/or half-heartedly written.
I liked the Eyewitness book for Tokyo, which had a light overview with useful pictures and maps. It complemented a Frommers book well, which had lots of useful information, but required more reading to get a good idea of a neighborhood. I think this book would also benefit from another, more well-informed book, as this one lacked the in-depth details on a particular sight.
The layout was also very busy and distracting. A better layout, perhaps with selective use of color, would have been easier to navigate.

I am a big fan of the Eyewitness series of travel books. The SF version was my first. I love the 3-d type maps and renderings of buildings as they add that extra dimension of familiarity when arriving in an unfamiliar place. The info is useful and accurate as any travel guide needs to be with the added value of the beautiful layout, photos, and images. The book becomes a souvenir of the trip!

DK Eyewitness travel books are some of the best on the market. You can glean more information from one of their books than you can from reading several offerings from their competitors. The full-color visuals, the detailed maps, and the interesting side-bars all add up to making this guide a perfect companion when planning a trip. If you're actually going on vacation, or simply dreaming of far-away places, this is the travel series for you.
