Reviews by readers

Primo daydream material!

Just got this book and have only been through it once. I'll go back again and again, because I'll probably never get to actually visit Paris. The aforementioned out-of-focus photos do exist but for my purposes they are not troubling. A couple of two-page spreads annoyingly place the center of attention right on the crease. But it still gets 5 stars from me. I love the writings, too.

Paris enthusiasts take note!

This is a stunning assemblage of photos and brief quotes sure
to evoke fond feelings in anyone who enjoys the unique charms
of Paris. The photos reveal a keen eye for detail, mostly
avoiding the conventional full views of Paris monuments, and
instead concentrating on the little things that make Paris so
special. Most photos are crisp, but a significant few are
blurry in a not at all artistic sense. The nostalgic quotes
from famous Parisians and others perfectly complement the
photos by expressing the very personal nature of the Paris
experience. There's even a bit of (unintended?) humor: See
pp 160-161 in particular! I'm glad I bought it.
