New to the San Francisco History Center Shelves

We have a spate of new titles that have just been cataloged and added to our collection. Come up for a visit to peruse them. This list is in Dewey Decimal order, revealing the wide variety of subject areas that can relate to our fair but foggy city. The last book on the list was actually published in 1901, so it's "new to us," not new.
