Authors/photographers: Al Barna and Randall Ann Homan

  • San Francisco/photography essay by local award-winning travel writer Tom Downs.

  • Neon preservation notes by Eric Lynxwiler, neon sign art expert and board president of the Museum of Neon Art (MONA).

  • Endnotes section with local stories, oral history, and rich details on 45 iconic neon signs by photographers and essayists.

  • Index by neighborhood to give readers a sense of which neighborhoods still have clusters of neon, and which neighborhoods have lost all but one or two surviving signs.

  • Neon condition to give readers indication which signs are illuminated nightly, which signs do not light up and need restoration, and which signs are lost icons.

“Just when you thought you knew everything about San Francisco, along comes a new book, San Francisco Neon: Survivors and Lost Icons. With beautiful photography, paging through is like strolling down the streets of a familiar city with a new vantage point. You’ll never look at San Francisco streets in quite the same way again. If just one of these neon survivors gets saved from demolition, this book is a huge success.”
—Andrew Danish, author of Palm Springs Weekend (Chronicle Books)

Softcover with 200+ photographs
