2 stars for a great design and good information, however it’s incomplete. The listings cover half of the San Francisco Bay Area. It goes as far south as Palo Alto on the peninsula and Hayward on the East Bay. There are no South Bay listings. San Jose is the largest city in the Bay Area and I have yet to find one listing from San Jose. This is unfortunate since a huge population of SF Bay Area citizens are left out who are very eager to support green businesses and reduce their carbon footprint.
I think the intent of this book, the design, the concise information, easy readability, and layout are fabulous. I hope that future editions will include a more complete coverage of the San Francisco Bay Area.
