Misleading and overpriced with too much in advertising undertones,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Paris Secrets: Architecture, Interiors, Quartiers, Corners (Hardcover)
A run of the mill book of stock Paris photos with disappointing and highly unethical undertones of sponsored advertising with repetition of some photos (which are too often printed out of register)- Hotel Bristol, apartment rentals - Chez vous.com and alcarte-paris-apartments (we really needed 12 pages of photographs? The inside of Le Grande is far more noteworthy with Eiffel designed glass atria), Angelina's, Chateau les Merles - 16 photos courtesy of the latter - if this is an advertising venture then cut the price or add Air France, RATP, FNAC and give it away.
Very disappointing

I want to move there NOW!!,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Paris Secrets: Architecture, Interiors, Quartiers, Corners (Hardcover)
This book is not only beautifully illustrated, but the prose is imaginative, evocative, and clearly celebrates this wonderful city. It is a nicely niced book; neither too hulking nor too skimpy. Of course, for me, I wish it could have been longer, because I never tire of learning about Paris and her many secrets.

Too Secret - lacks specific info on locations in photographs,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Paris Secrets: Architecture, Interiors, Quartiers, Corners (Hardcover)
When you buy a travel book- which I thought this was- you expect some information on the locations that were of interest to the author. Maybe you are going there - like I am - am would like to experience the architecture, quartiers, corners for yourself. No such information is forthcoming - only very general comments about the areas and nothing specific about the locations of the pictures.
