Although the book is the exact book I wished, it seems like it was in a box or storage for quite a long time as the pages are quite yellowed. The book seems to have been published in 1969. Also, the edges of the pages are stained.
I will thoroughly enjoy reading this book again but I wish it was in better condition.
 Don't miss a chance to read this book! October 11, 2008
I first read this book in 1971 long before I ever saw San Francisco or California, and I still re-read it from time to time. It is the sweetest book I've ever read. It's actually poetry, and it's about living on the edge and compassion and nature. If you read it, you will have to make a trip to see the statute of Ben Franklin in Washington Square and it's greeting, "Welcome, Welcome, Welcome, Welcome," inscribed at its base at the request of Mr. Cogswell who gave it to the citizens of San Francisco. There are many subtle threads in this book, and conservation of the wild is at its heart (although some readers may disagree). You can still venture over to the Cleveland Wrecking Yard
(see page 102) to browse for a section of trout stream ... but most of the good parts have been purchased and carted off in BMWs by rich folks heading for Montana. God bless you Richard! PS: Don't miss the Mayonnaise Chapter.
