Since moving to San Francisco in 1997 I have witnessed an explosion of popularity for mosaics. The idea for a guide with maps seemed a natural solution in order to share the fantastic artistic resource the city has to offer. Up to now, mosaics have been a hidden and usually overlooked part of in the San Francisco landscape. This pocket-sized guide locates the most dazzling examples and puts them at your fingertips. It is a perfect entrée into one of the most creative and cultural cities in America. Think ‘Zagat Guide’ for mosaic sites.
The guide features:

36 full-color pages |

11 detailed maps organized by neighborhood |
 |
Over 40 color photographs |

57 different site locations |

This is the first compendium to focus exclusively on publicly accessible mosaic sites and is a must-have for anyone who wants a fresh, creative perspective to touring around San Francisco. It’s a perfect way to discover a part of the city that most of its residents don’t even know exist.
