5.0 out of 5 stars The type of book I've been waiting for!, Nov 14 2011

This book is AMAZING. As a San Francisco history / real estate / city planning buff, I like to search for information regarding the original surveys of the land and how the street plans came to be. I also like to know how land was sold and how the Victorian row house came to be so popular in San Francisco. It's also useful to know why the floor plans were designed the way they were, given how Victorian-era families lived. It's very difficult to find information like this online because a lot of it isn't accurate and certainly does not have images. This book has all of this and more. It is literally my ideal book, I am so glad I bought one. Getting to know how the land in San Francisco was divided up, the measurements (Spanish 'vara'), architecture, interior design, everything is absolutely thorough and amazing. I commend the author for putting this masterpiece together.
My only minor criticism is that the pictures in a couple of the sections are very dated. This doesn't detract from the core of the subjectmatter in any way, but none of the cars on the street are newer than about 1985 and things have changed a lot in San Francisco since then. It would be nice to see how even more of these historic homes have been restored to their original splendor.
