  1. I'm in the midst of reading Simon Read's book - thus far it's terrifically entertaining, if a bit sensationalist. But perhaps that's the right angle to take when discussing San Francisco newspapers - the stories are absolutely wild!

    And yes indeed, I did notice the contributions of the Historical Photograph Collection; nicely done.
