(BRANDT, Fred. and Andrew Y. Wood)

Fascinating San Francisco

San Francisco: (San Francisco Chamber of Commerce), 1924. First Edition. Stiff printed wrappers. Small 8vo. Pp. 63. With 16 full-page illustrations. Stiff card covers, printed. Spine worn away at head and tail, with signatures exposed. Good. Item #1121

A splendid overview of the city, told with panache. Well-served by historical references, the essence of San Francisco emerges with roaring '20s prose, comparing, for instance, the intersections of Broadway, Kearney, and Columbus Avenues with Montgomery Street as akin to Greenwich Village or even Montmarte. Despite the spine condition, book remains attractive. COWAN, p. 70.
