Bay Area
 Newcomer's Handbook for Moving to And Living in the San Francisco Bay Area: Including San Jose, Oakland, Berkeley, And Palo Alto (Newcomer's Handboks) $24.95 The book is well written and well oriented to its audience. It is not, however, a travel book by any means. It is a general overview of most of the areas in/around San Fran. It stands alone in addressing in fair detail the towns around the bay area. Most travel guides give these areas token lip service, but for a person intent on relocating to the bay area this is critical information. That said, though, most of the information is cursory and the internet links provided are the first few links from a Google search. For example, I was less than thrilled to read the author suggesting Craigslist as an apartment finder in the bay area. No kidding, I thought. What this book is very good at is delving a step or two deeper. Assuming you can forgive the internet link issue, it does have decent information on schools and other information for parents. That would make it useful to that audience. As a guide book - nope. As a relocation guide - ehh. As a resource for families - probably. I ended up returning this not because it was bad, but just because it wasn't the best for me.  Winnie the Pooh Pre-School $9.99 Mis hijos de 3 y 4 aos se divierten jugando con Winnie the Pooh.

Bay Area Backroads Deck: 50 Northern California Adventures from KRON-TV (Hit the Road) $14.95 This card deck is a fantastic idea! Very useful and easy to carry with you in the car. Great compact information to local sights. Makes for a quick and easy get-away search. Would recommend highly. |
