STAIRWAY WALKS OF SAN FRANCISCO
(Wilderness Press)
–A guide book classic, first published
in 1984–
The vivacious grande dame of San Francisco's 350+ stairway
walks, Adah Bakalinsky, is a “walker nonpareil
and veteran guide,” who wrote The Stairway Walks of
San Francisco
for the curious walker. Chock-full of maps, anecdotal history,
geological & horticultural notes of interest, the book
is a fascinating
read and a great resource, sure to find a favorite place on
your bookshelf . . . or in your hip pocket!

San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom proclaimed
May 22, 2004, as
“Adah Bakalinsky's Stairway Day
in San Francisco," for her tireless
contributions to ‘raising money and citizen awareness’
for restoring
and preserving San Francisco's stairways.”
There are 630 public stairways listed
in the 6th edition
of Adah Bakalinsky's Stairway of San Francisco book,
compared to the 330 listed in previous editions.
Concludes with a convivial All Things Hidden Healdsburg
Walking Tour.
Thank you for the wonderful journey
with Adah on Saturday. Meeting
in the arbor . . . walking to Manzanita to feast on good food
with a great
group of book lovers ~ plus taking the “stairway”
to the gallery
and exploring the historic house on Fitch. - T C, Sonoma

My daughter and I thoroughly enjoyed Adah
Bakalinsky's
book-signing luncheon
walking tour. -

Thank you very much for the terrific Saturday walk in Healdsburg
and for the delicious lunch. I had the most enjoyable
time with
everyone in the group. The Healdsburg I saw this time is a
change
from that seen many years ago. Your tour gave us an
insight into these
changes and why one would definitely want to visit again.
Seeing the
old and new and learning the town's history is the intersting
part for me.
I soak it up. And having a taste of local treats gave
a delightful
ending to the walk. - M.G. San Francisco
