I received a review request from the author of this book.  At the time, this was available as a free download.As a traveler and a mom, I was very interested in this.  I love the idea of knowing if an area is in the "safer" area of town - especially when visiting a large city.I found the maps very clear and especially enjoyed many of the safety tips.  I can certainly see consulting this little book prior to booking a hotel.I did have a couple of suggestions:*  First, this should be an app rather than a book.  As I am unfamiliar with San Francisco, I would love to be able to type in the address of a location and have it pull up the map.*  I wanted to know more about what kind of crimes were in each area.  Is an area known for petty theft?  Or for violent crime?  Gang activity?  Hate Crimes?  That makes a difference to me.Over all, however, I think this is a unique concept that I will definitely use when making my travel plans.
