San Francisco Neon: Survivors and Lost Icons

“Just when you thought you knew everything about San Francisco, along comes a new book, San Francisco Neon: Survivors and Lost Icons. With beautiful photography, paging through is like strolling down the streets of a familiar city with a new vantage point. You’ll never look at San Francisco streets in quite the same way again. If just one of these neon survivors gets saved from demolition, this book is a huge success.”
—Andrew Danish, author of Palm Springs Weekend (Chronicle Books)San Francisco/photography essay by local award-winning travel writer Tom Downs.
