5 comments about Let's Go Pocket City Guide Paris, 1st Ed. (Let's Go Map Guide Paris).

1. This book is the definitive guide to Paris -- at least for those, like myself, who had never been. From the planning process, through the daily ins-and-outs, there was hardly anything I could not find in this guide. It was my bible for the entire trip. I thought the maps were helpful, providing detailed views of each arrondisement. But you may want additional maps - specifically the large metro/city map which can be found almost anywhere, and a pocket-sized metro map so you don't have to fumble with a book or a big map when you're in the metro station. Two tips they left out: street signs are found on the buildings, and the tourism office gives bad advice more often than not. In short, get this book! You'll not regret it.



2. I'll be honest. I haven't used Let's Go Paris 2000. But I just want to point out that the 1-star review given here is actually for the Let's Go Paris Map Guide, a year-old 30-page pamphlet, not the 200-page just-updated Let's Go Paris. So ignore that review and make up your own mind



3. Lets Go Map Guides are very good. They are concise, lightweight, and an easy size to store in a coat pocket. You will probably need an additional more detailed map though. But their maps are useful and the Metro Map (subway system) is indispensable. The recommendations on places to stay or restaurants is hit or miss. I would use some other guide book for that.



4. I was looking for a detailed map in the form of a book, with a complete street index. This book has maps on the fold-out covers, a scant 28 pages of text-only sightseeing guidebook material, and a street index. It's more guide than map.

   Check out "The Paris Mapguide" by Middleditch for the best maps I've found. Get the Michelin Green Guide for Paris if you want guidebook material (where to stay, what to see) with detailed area maps. For France, look at Michelin or Lonely Planet guides.

   Bon Voyage!




5. As soon as I got this book, I took out the inner pages, and just used the cover. The Metro and city maps printed on it proved indispensible. The plastic coated cover made it last through jacket pockets, jean pockets and rush hour Metro human sardines. You *need* a good portable map, and I found this one to be the one for me!

1 comments about Americans in Paris (Americans Abroad Series).

1. Brian Morton takes you on a walk (with street-by-street maps) of Paris through the eyes and lives of famous Americans who lived, worked and loved in Paris. You can feel and live in your imagination their lives - through gossip, fact, or read between the lines - a wonderful vacation from my reading chair. . . I can't wait to visit Paris with this book in hand.

5 comments about Paris (Citymap Guide).

1. wherever you go, whatever you do, get a knopf mapbook! they're the best - exceedingly accurate and informative, small enough to be ideally portable, and always offering extra stops along the way you might not have thought about - a travelers best friend, and, for $9ish, you really can't afford NOT to get one - they're wholly worthwhile.



2. These guides are incredibly helpful and became my soul companion. They include most of what other travel guides offer, yet they little pull out maps are comprehensive and small enough to be subtle when viewing, helping avoid the helpless tourist profile. When I travel these books are the first I search for in my awaited destination.



3. My wife and I used this guide for our 10 day visit to Paris. We had other guides with us, but this one was by far the most convenient and useful. You WILL want another more in-depth guide as well (this one just hits the high points), but for the maps and tips on the most important sites, this is the one to carry around (it DOES actually fit in the back pocket of my jeans).



4. Just got back from 7 days in Paris and will never travel without one of these guides again. It was the handiest and most convenient guide. Never got lost!!! We went to several of the recommended resturants and enjoyed them.



5. I travel quite a bit and when I travel I try hard not to seem like a "tourist" no big bags, camcorder.. huge guide book and map. I love these guides because they're small and handy. I can pop them in my purse and when I need to pull it out, I don't look lost at all! I love how the guide is laid out by neighborhoods and they have recommendation for restaurants and shops etc.. I have a mapguide for Paris, London, Rome, Barcelona, Madrid and all have been so helpful. I recommend these guides for your next adventure.

1 comments about Trap.

1. This mystery is Sue Grafton with more plot and a faster pace, which I consider a very big compliment. The premise is clever. There are lots of twists. It was great fun to hang out with the main characters. Paris feels vivid and lived. For those who love great writing style, the prose in this book is at the top of my pantheon, with an elegant flow and clarity that few writers manage to achieve. "Trap" easily deserves the five star rating I gave it. As an ex-member of a volunteer fire department, the flashover fire descriptions were chilling and realistic.
