The first item ?San Francisco Street Names? by Henry C. Carlisle - - is a unpaginated booklet by the American Trust Company of San Francisco in 1954 with original wood engravings by Mallette Dean. This 4.0 x 7.5 inch item is in at least very good condition with a centerfold map of the city and with historic descriptions of San Francisco?s street names along with information on the then-notable people whom the streets were named after. 2 & 3) - there are two very similar but somewhat different items - - both with the same title - - ?Welcome Map San Francisco and Bay Area - Presenting San Francisco for the Discriminating Visitor? - - published by A. Babcock - - with both carrying dates of 1955 with Volume 7 No. 3 and Volume 8 No 2 shown on the front cover.

The items unfolds to 23.0 x 18.0 inches each having several maps with the San Francisco central maps and other communities shown separately along with description and listing of places to see and do in San Francisco.
