If you're only going to buy one NorCal travel guide, Moon Handbooks Northern California is it. It covers sites, lodging & camping, eateries, and more, all in a down-to-earth style, giving you tips and insights you won't find in typical guidebooks. I've owned each edition, and each one has taken a physical beating because I live in Northern California, I keep this guide in the car at all times, and I refer to it frequently.
The newest edition (4th) is an improvement over the 3rd, beyond the innumerable updates. The listings now include web addresses for the first time. In addition, open the book to any page (in the middle 80%) and the book will lie flat, so you can write notes at a table without having to hold the book open with your hand. Moreover, the paper is thinner, so the book is thinner (and therefore easier to work with), even though the 4th edition contains more pages. These last two points might seem minor, but when you're traveling, you're more likely to refer to a book that isn't a pain in the butt to use.
