"There are certain Bay Area landmarks that mean so much to so many.
And one of the most special must surely be the Cliff House in San
Francisco. A new work, 'The San Francisco Cliff House'...is a
centennial celebration of this spectacular and historic edifice....
I was spellbound with the many fascinating photographs. And I was
nothing short of ecstatic when I saw several reproductions of early
postcards I have in my personal collection. What sent me over the
edge, however, was seeing recipes for restaurant favorites like
Crab Louis. I just wanted to jump in my car and head to the shrine
for an all-day picnic."
