There are many gorgeous photos of both the insides and outsides of public and personal spaces. I was actually surprised at the number of homes we get a peek into. If you enjoy interior design, of just about any style, you will find it here. I love all the personal libraries shown, crammed with books and interesting objects. Loved the mannequins, esp the life-sized guy sitting on the couch. I am a fan of exotic, eclectic decorating and found many examples to keep me happy with the book.

This is another book on Paris design in the same style as previous Elle Decor publications like "Elle Decor, the grand book of French design", and "The best of Elle Decor". With only a few exceptions, this book has many new pictures that haven't been published before(at least in American magazines). There are a few Christian Liaigre wanna be interiors, but very very few. Only Christian Liaigre seems to be able to pull off that style, so go purchase "Maison Christian Liaigre" if you love his work. The book devides Paris into various neighborhoods, and has a great suppliment in the back that gives you shopping, hotel, restaurants, museums, antiques, etc., for various sections of Paris. Although the French style is not always applicable to American architecture, design, and way of life, there are many beautiful and inspiring images thoughout.

Who wouldn't be tempted to peek into the window of an incredibly chic Parisian maison? Here's your chance. How did the editors convince these fabulous homeowners to open their doors and even some of their receipe files?
