San Francisco Then and Now by Eric J Kos

San Francisco Then and Now by Eric J Kos

There's no denying the charm of San Francisco, a city perched on rolling hills, where "little cable cars climb half-way to the stars." With dramatic vistas at every turn, the Pacific Ocean to the west and the Bay to the east, its cityscape is like no other place on Earth. Discover the "City by the Bay" in this all-new edition of San Francisco Then and Now. - Filled with amazing then-and-now photographs, some previously unpublished, that include cable cars, the Ferry Building, Palace of Fine Arts, and the Transamerica Pyramid, all the city's most popular attractions. - This unique book features a selection of dramatic photos taken before, during, and after the 1906 Earthquake and fire. See how the city rose from the ashes with a series of skyline photos. - San Francisco's most beloved landmark gets the royal treatment. Compare a photo of the Golden Gate Bridge during its construction in 1934 to its current elegant grandeur. - How did Lombard Street get to be the "crookedest street in the world?" See it in 1922 when it was under construction and what it looks like now. (For the record, Lombard is actually San Francisco's second most crooked street!)

Dennis Evanosky and Eric J. Kos publish the Alameda Sun, a weekly newspaper across the bay from San Francisco. Dennis has written three books about Bay Area history. Eric graduated from the Rhode Island School of Design in 1977. He has written for and designed various publications before forming Stellar Media Group Inc. in 2001. Dennis and Eric first teamed up in 2004 to write East Bay Then and Now and in 2010 Los Angeles from the Air Then and Now. They are also the authors of Lost San Francisco.
