5.0 out of 5 stars Great Intro to France for Keen Teen, January 13, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Travel + Leisure's Unexpected France (Travel + Leisure Unexpected) (Travel + Leisure Unexpected) (Hardcover)
I bought this book for my daughter as an introduction to France: it's landscape, culture, food and language because she is taking up French at high school. It's a great mix of pictures, maps and written information. There's plenty of info for the traveler too. Too many of these type of books are too specific to one region; concentrate only on one aspect of France (eg food) or are completely travel oriented - all of which are not needed for a teen wanting to know a general overview (with plenty of in dept info if it's needed).

4.0 out of 5 stars More should have been put into the printing., October 20, 2008
This review is from: Travel + Leisure's Unexpected France (Travel + Leisure Unexpected) (Travel + Leisure Unexpected) (Hardcover)
This is the sort of book that I love. Vignettes of things not always

found in other, more typical, travel books. Out of the way places

with photos.

But there is something wrong with the printing. And I'm not sure that

I know exactly what it is. Either the coloring on the photos is too harsh or

the type isn't quite right, or maybe even the paper is wrong. I really don't

know. But it appears that, because there is an Unexpected Italy, they might

be making a series of books, I would hope that they make these corrections to

make the books even more appealing. It is not an attempt to dissuade people from purchasing the books.
