Description: An Almanac created by the Federal Writer's Project for 1939 in San Francisco

"Any plodder can write a consecutive history of a city. But it takes 
more cooks to turn out a good civic stew. Many of the San Francisco 
staff of the Federal Writers' Project have been gathering, for some 
time, material for a comprehensive guide to the Bay Area, presently 
to be issued. As they wormed through texts, letters, memoirs, docu- 
ments, newspapers, scandals, and plain guff, they unearthed many 
unearthly items. These were tossed faithfully into the hat and here 
they are. "
