Color pictures and rich historical information

This guide contains beautiful color pictures and lots of information about the history of each of the sights you'll visit in San Francisco. It also ranks these sights from "Do not miss" down to "Worth seeing", which makes it easy to plan a trip if you're only there for a few days and just want to hit the major highlights. The guide has some information about accomodations and restaurants, but it focuses mainly on places you'll visit as a sightseer. The maps and color photos are extremely helpful; after seeing the picture of the cherry blossoms in bloom in the Japanese Tea Garden, I made sure I visited there on my recent trip.
