More About the Author

Christina has worked in publishing for fifteen years, toiling away as both an in-house editor (Chronicle Books, Seal Press, Night + Day city guides) and a freelance writer before joining Girl Friday Productions, a boutique editorial and writing firm. On any given day, Christina may find herself editing a historical novel, generating snappy copy for a corporate website, writing a travel piece about one of her favorite cities, or doing market research for a client's book proposal. She loves all aspects of the book business--writing, editing, research, reading, and, of course, other people who share her passion for words. Originally from San Francisco, she enjoyed stints in Seattle and Paris before finally landing in the foodie-hipster mecca of Portland, Oregon, where she lives with her husband and two energetic sons. She loves indulging in dim sum in San Francisco, dress-shopping in Brooklyn, late-night book-browsing at Powells in Portland, and doing just about anything in Paris.

an excellent revision February 28, 2011
By M. King
Format:Cards
I took several cards from the previous offering of 'City Walks' to Paris with me in October. I was very frustrated because if I took a wrong turn, which always happens, it was hard to get back on track. I kept thinking, "This would be so much better if these cards were numbered on each map side to match up with each highlight, or attraction, in bold on the opposite side of each card, so I could refer back and forth between the text on one side and the map on the other side." Guess I wasn't the only one with no sense of direction.

I was thrilled to see the revision issue just barely out for 2011. I'm returning to Paris in April and I will be taking some well chosen cards from my new 'City Walks' with me. It's so, so much better and more current now. Thank you!!

Do not buy October 31, 2011

These walks are just advertisements. They are trying to get you to eat at certain restaurants or shop in certain stores. There is almost no historical information provided. It was not what I wanted from my Paris walks.

Shipped promptly in great condition as advertised. Was real glad this newer revision has the numbers on both the back and front of the cards. I will be using these in a couple of months along with the moleskin Paris notebook. Between these cards and the notebook I am hoping these maps will be all I need to get around on a daily basis. What is nice about these cards once you plan your day, you can take only the cards that cover that area with you. We will be a group of 4 adults and another advantage is each walk (card) start and end close to a metro stop so if one or more of us get tired we can find the closet metro stop to get us back to our hotel or a cafe to rest. On some of the cards (haven't read them all) there are recommended sites, cafes and restaurants with some brief history.
