The detail is explicit and unusual, as in Richard Brandi's San Francisco's West Portal Neighborhoods (073-8529974), covering the adjacent neighborhoods of West Portal, Forest Hill and St. Francis Wood: areas of San Francisco well off the usual beaten tourist track. Author Brandi is himself a West Portal resident, and uses his knowledge to compliment a wonderful gathering of vintage images depicting the area's many changes. Each picture is clearly identified, dated, and provided appropriate historical background. Dr. William Lipsky's San Francisco's Panama-Pacific International Exposition (0738530093) is the item of choice if you wish to recreate the 1915 celebration of the opening of the Panama Canal Panama Canal, waterway across the Isthmus of Panama, connecting the Atlantic (by way of the Caribbean Sea) and Pacific oceans, built by the United States (1904–14) on territory leased from the republic of Panama. in San Francisco. San Francisco historian Lipsky has written several others on the city: this gorgeous gathering of Pan-Pacific photos and memorabilia captures the relics and reminders of the great event which lasted 10 months and covered nearly the entire Marina District.
