Recommending books about SFC a No-No?
I read recommendations for hotels, restaraunts, tours, etc. in San Francisco on this board, which have been quite helpful in planning our upcoming trip there. So, I thought I'd recommend a series of novels I've recently discovered whose author does a superb job in describing the streets, neighborhoods, and surrounding areas of SFC - along with some good history about them. They have really helped increase my knowledge and appreciation for SFC, which I just thought others here might also like to look into for their trip planning. But I don't see my posting anywhere in this forum, so guess you can't recommend book titles and authors -- is this right?

mclaurie, I thought that was a possibility, although I live here and have never heard anyone use SFC to refer to any part of SF. So feeling like an idiot, I googled the initials and got a huge range of stuff, none of it location related. So I swallowed my pride and asked, and...who knew?

Geez, I must really be off-base. My mistake, folks. The SFC I thought most would follow is an abbreviation for San Francisco City, meaning the CITY itself as compared to the whole greater area, which might be abbreviated SF??? Some interesting takes here -- I'm laughing with you 
....and still learning. Bear with me, pls.

lbaboyd, we all appreciate the laugh, believe me. We call San Francisco "SF" or "The City." The larger area is usually referred to as The Bay Area. There is also the North Bay, the East Bay, and the South Bay (but no West Bay, for obvious geographic reasons).
Post the novels here on this thread. I'm sure we'd all like to know about them. And have a great trip!

I know I'm still learning...and doing something wrong ???? Earlier, I posted a reply to mclaurie thanking him/her for the example -- but I don't see my posting, even though initially it was there. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong??? Have patience with me, and maybe I'll get around to those great novels I brought up originally. Sorry folks

lbaboyd, your post recommending the novels is there. Just click on your name and the left side of the screen will have all the posts you have contibuted to.
As new threads are started, the old ones drop down unless an addition is made. Perhaps you are not seeing your post because it has dropped off the first page, which has 50 posts. Hope that helps.

That would be lovely, Kal!
Here's what I got when I googled SFC:
Securities and Futures Commission of Hong Kong
Sexual Freedom Coalition (which apparently has an event called the Sex Maniac's Charity Ball!)
Small Farm Center
Scottish Funding Councils
Starfleet Command (!)
Singing for Change (Jimmy Buffett)
Societe Francaise du Cancer (pardon lack of accent marks)
Sustainable Food Center
Singapore Film Commission
And approximately 1-1/2 million other references! Is it any wonder I decided to ASK?
