I’d like to read more about San Francisco’s history. Here are some other books that look interesting … “Picturing Chinatown” by Anthony Lee, “Summer of Love” by Chris Goodrich, “Black San Francisco: The Struggle for Racial Equality in the West, 1900–1954″ by Albert Broussard, “Name Dropping: Tales from My Barbary Coast Saloon” by Barnaby Conrad, “San Francisco’s Lost Landmarks” by James Smith

Paul is one of my dissertation committee members. The book is not strictly SF, but we could definitely do it! I love that book.
