4.0 out of 5 stars Christmas in France, February 3, 2000

By	J. C. M. Bannerman (Philadelphia, Pennsylvania USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book is a part of a series (another is Christmas in Germany).

This is a wonderful book showing the history and traditions of French Noel. This book mentions Reveillion (the Christmas feast), the Santons of Provence along with the celebrations that are held outside of Paris.

This book is excellent and I would recommend adding it to your library.

2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointed, August 20, 2009

By	BlueO. "BlueO." - See all my reviews

So I get this book thinking I would recieve a new book because I clicked "buy New". Well, not only is it not new, but it has an altogether different front cover than the one pictured, it has a scratch on the front cover and a bend and puncture hole in the back. It smells like an old library book too and is a bit yellowed. I spent 15.64 including S/H and don't think it's worth even half that price. Very disgusted. I contacted the seller and they replied "simply return it and we will give a full refund". Well, I SIMPLY don't feel like wasting more money mailing it back to them and taking the chance of the book getting "lost in the mail" and not recieving squat back. Will not do business with this vendor again.
