The bestselling book from two prizewinning, critically acclaimed contemporary chroniclers of San Francisco—a rich, illustrated, idiosyncratic portrait of this great city.
In
Spirits of San Francisco, #1 bestselling
Cool Gray City of Love author Gary Kamiya joins forces with celebrated, bestselling artist Paul Madonna to take a fresh look at this one-of-a-kind city. Marrying image and text in a way no book about this city has done before, Kamiya's illuminating narratives accompany Madonna's masterful pen-and-ink drawings, breathing life into San Francisco sites both iconic and obscure.
Paul Madonna's atmospheric images will awe: his wide-angle drawings offer a new perspective on the "crookedest street in the world" and vistas across the city. And Kamiya's engaging prose, accompanying each image, offers striking vignettes of this incredible city: witness his story of "Dumpville," the bizarre community that sprang up in the 19th century on top of a massive garbage dump.
Handsome and irresistible—much like the city it chronicles—
Spirits of San Francisco is both a visual feast and a detailed, personal, loving, informed portrait of a beloved city.
