By	Dawn (LaCrosse, WI USA) - See all my reviews

I was at a rummage sale last year and noticed someone was selling a bunch of guide books. I saw Fodor's Paris 99 and could not believe they were practically giving it away. I could not stop looking at it when I came home. It is such a complete book on Paris. The beginning covers all your basic info on how to get there and what to take. The rest is filled with good maps. It considers people of all budgets with it's hotel and restaurant listings going from low to expensive. It even has some helpful phrases in the back. I will definitely use it on my trip to Paris.
