An amazing little coffee table book of San Francisco's high points, San Francisco, City of Love covers the essential sights of the city with skill and love.
It is subtitled the city of love as it was the birthplace of the Summer of Love, 50 years ago. With San Francisco's diverse population, it is still on the forefront of social change. From cable cars to internet transformation, the city continues to amaze, and this book portrays that excitement.
It is the product of many years of photography and design by legendary book artists Richard Blair and Kathleen Goodwin.
They have made 14 books over the last 20 years, self-publishing them to great acclaim from critics and readers. They have over 75,000 books in print. They have also illustrated many books for other publishers.
Blair and Goodwin's method is to photograph, design and write the books, creating every page as a integrated whole, adding photos and text, even reshooting images to fit the design ideas. This makes for a higher quality publication than one done piecemeal by unrelated contributors. This care extends to creating the printing plates and using the best printers and book paper. The results stand out!
