Synopsis
One of San Francisco's little-known treasures is its more than 350 stairways. The author has combined dozens of her favorite stairways into 27 guided neighborhood walks. Each stairway walk contains a step-by-step route description that includes notes on historical background, architecture, and other points of interest. Accompanying every walk is an easy-to-follow map and a corresponding numbered outline, which includes information on taking public transportation to the beginning of the trip.

From the Back Cover
Adah Bakalinsky is the queen of San Francisco's majestic and quirky stairways. Walker nonpareil and veteran guide, she explores the hidden corridors and cul-de-sacs of San Francisco, charting neighborhood changes by gathering stories from residents, gardeners, and shopkeepers.
Review
It's especially satisfying to see a new edition of this out-of-print title, which remains unique in its coverage of San Francisco's little known stairways. All 27 walks have been updated for this new edition to cover the latest landmarks along the way. Destination-oriented visitors who enjoy unusual urban walks will be pleased. -- Midwest Book Review
