1. My wife and I just returned from Paris and our copy is tattered from use. We were glad to find a travel guide that whose advice we could rely on, that wasn't trying to get us through our trip on 20 cents a day, and the author did not disappoint. We chose our hotel, restaurants, shopping, museums, nightclubs... pretty much everything out of this guide. Bravo!

1. There is very little in this book that isn't covered elsewhere in more detail. I bought this book and "The Complete Idiot's Travel Guide to Las Vegas" before a trip to Las Vegas with my two sons. The Complete Idiot's Guide had lots more info including info about kid friendly hotels, things to see, etc. Neither book included information about which hotels let kids stay free which was info that I was looking for.
   Las Vegas With Kids includes lots of what to me was worthless information - for example: 5 pages are used to list the airlines that fly into Las Vegas, another 6 pages of websites for hotels, packing lists that list only the obvious (and only for the summer season).
   My advice would be to buy a general travel guide to Las Vegas and don't bother with this book.



2. I thought that this book was an excellent starter when planning a vacation to "Sin City" with the kids. My husband and I were worried that it would be a vacation where we stayed in the hotel for 5 days and swam by the pool. However, we were able to use this book to plan our days. We were able to find local parks, historical sites and some pretty good restaurants. In addition, the book gave us ideas to keep our 8 year old active by trying things that we would not normally have done (i.e., horseback riding, etc.) The book broke down which hotels were "kid friendly" and what amenities were available to us at the hotel. My son was so excited about this vacation that he still talks about it to everyone more than a year later. I would highly recommend this book for anyone who has children and wants to stay away from the casinos.

1. This book is simply fascinating. Sections include everything from the famous luxury houses of perfume and fashion to the underground city of catacombs and even midevil churches.
   This is a complete look at a famous and fascinating city. The flavor and the mood are captured.
   This is a great book for casual looking to heavy reading. Packed with photographs from the earliest days to today along with information on everything about the city.
   The writing is crisp and easy to follow.
   You can see about the monuments like the Eiffel Tower to the back alleys to the cafes and shops to the world famous Ritz.
   You get a look at the everyday shops to the on the street experience to the history of Paris and everything in between.
   If you want to read about the city or peruse pictures or are looking for information, if you buy only one book about Paris, this is the one to buy.
   Every cent you spend is well worth it.

2 comments about The Inside-Outside Book of Paris.

1. Having seen Paris first hand, I would recommend this book for any child second grade and up as a way of preparing for a trip to Paris. It details the sights in Paris at a level that they can digest. It covers not only the well-known sights such as the Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame and the Arch du Triomphe, but also lists such attractions as the artists along the Seine and the bookstore Shakespeare and Company, which boasts the largest rare and secondhand english book selection in Europe in a charming old world setting. The illustrations are also well done.



2. Get the most of your family vacation by preparing the kids for the adventures the're about to have.Viewing this series of books before we leave for vacation familurizes everyone with the sites your about to see. And once you've returned home, this book is a wonderful addition to your photo albums to keep the memories alive!
