Book Description
In the palm-sized Not For Tourists Guide To San Francisco, you will find all the maps, resources, and practical information you will need to negotiate your way around thie city. If you need kids' activities for visiting nieces, or nude beaches for your college buddies, or if its midnight and you need to find the closest open gas station or a locksmith because your roommate locked you out... NFT has the answer. To keep up with the revolving nature of city business, we've updated all of our listings, because we know how embarrassing it is to take a first date to a closed establishment. We've also added new sections on exciting spots around the Bay Area including Mill Valley, Oakland, Angel Island, Pacifica Beach and Fort Funston. And a new Wi-Fi page gives you the latest on wireless Internet hotspots. This guide lets you take advantage of the wealth of local services and resources surrounding you in San Francisco.

 Small print makes this very hard to read! June 5, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Having just moved to San Francisco a few months ago I was excited about the prospect of this book. However, the book failed to live up to my expectations of a "not for tourist" city guide book. The main problem is that the print is miniscule and very hard to read. I'm in my mid-twenties with 20/20 vision - yet I feel that I need a magnifying glass to read this book or risk ruining my eyesight! Because of this small print there is a lot packed into the book - yet only 10% of it is useful to me (maps of neighborhoods and locations of post offices). Also the size of this book is awkward -- it is too large to fit comfortably in a pocket or a purse (unless you have large pockets or a large purse) - so what is the point of the tiny print? This book should have been produced normal size. Instead of this, I recommend getting the 2008 Lonely Planet San Francisco city guide - which is very useful for residents as well as tourists. And if you need maps - just buy a good city map (the MUNI map is a must and can be found at the info center at Union Square for $2.00). If you are moving to the bay area or have just moved, the "Newcomer's Handbook to San Francisco" is also very useful.

My husband is originally from San Francisco, so we visit frequently. We like to try new areas and return to favorites. This spring we wanted to make use of the public transportation system, so we purchased this book. I know that we will use this for many more visits--both in the planning and during the visit!
