Paris

This is a lovely book that highlights all the different areas of Paris and it's architecture, historical facts and attractions. A great book that will always remind me of my recent vaction there. It has beautiful photos mixed with interesting information and makes me want to return to the city to visit those areas in the book that I missed.

A minor glitch.

I loved this book--Paris being one of my favorite cities. However, the copy I received had some of the pages out of sequence (probably happened in the binding process). Now I'm wondering how many other copies sold had this problem. And, most importantly, I'm wondering if the publisher was aware of this.

Armchair and Reality Paris

I bought this book when it first came out, as a friend was leaving that very day to go to Paris. It kept me going until I was able to make my first visit in 2003. I have made two more visits since then. I still go back to it and tell friends about it. It is one of the best photographed Paris books that I own. It brings you and your armchair right into the best of it...and allows you to savor the beauty. Voila!!!

Ah Paris

I'm surprised the other reviewer only gave this 3 stars. I think the photograghy is sumptuous and the text is quite lovely. These are the spots I remember and go back to in my imagination.
