"From two bestselling, prizewinning, and critically acclaimed contemporary chroniclers of San Francisco comes a rich, illustrated, idiosyncratic portrait of this great city. Gary Kamiya's Cool Gray City of Love: 49 Views of San Francisco was a #1 bestseller and an award winner. Now he 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 captivating 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: be amazed by his astonishing wide-angle drawing for a jaw-dropping new perspective on the 'crookedest street in the world.' And Kamiya's engaging prose, accompanying each image, offers fascinating 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."--Publisher.

Madonna, Paul, 1972-
