Rating:  - Downhill
I have always thought this was the best guidebook series going, but since Richard Saul Wurman sold the series to Harper Collins the books have been getting sloppy. The writing has been taken over by "updaters" who don't check the facts. The updater's name doesn't appear until the outside back cover (in this case a woman named Linda Peck).
For instence: in the section on the Fairmont Hotel (p. 84) the writer states that the Crown Room has wonderful buffets, brunches and dinners. In fact, ... Read More
Rating:  - Best of the city guidebooks ever!!!!
There are a lot of guidebooks out there for every major city in North America, but I always find the Access Guides useful, as well as helpful and up to date. So many books are geared toward the foreign tourist with information that you can hardly use. At last here is a book that give honest looks at San Francisco hotels, shops, and restaurants. Keep up the good work..
Rating: - Compact, versatile, and valid
A San Francisco resident since 1976, I still rely on each new edition of the Access (and Knopf) Guides to maintain familiarity with other neighbourhoods, and supply out-of-town guests with copies of each.
Rating:  - Use this guide to supplement another one.

I didn't want to carry a big heavy book on my weekend trip and, more often than not, I found myself without the information I needed. The typical questions any visitor might have go unanswered and the information is spotty. For instance, the author gives a list of the primary local radio stations, including the radio dial numbers for them, but fails to tell the reader what some of the primary ... Read More
Rating: - A very helpful city guide book!
I went on vacation to San Francisco about a month ago and I needed a book that would guide me to the city. Access San Francisco was extremely informative and helpful. I found some great restaurants, cafés and shopping areas. Of course, it also guided me to China Town and the Golden Gate Bridge. Also, the book tells us the history of San Francisco and the different types of neighborhoods one might want to go to. I loved it. Are you planning on going to San Francisco? If so, buy Access San Francisco. ... Read More
