Michelin Guide Paris 2007: Restaurants & Hotels3 reviews

Michelin Travel Publications, 2007

The ultimate Paris restaurant guide book

+ Nice book, wish i had the money to use it

I initially did not purchase this book based on the previous review that indicated its content was limited. I bought Michelin France instead. That was a mistake! The Paris guide has all the same hotels & restaurants that the France guide has (not just expensive restaurants or those with stars, ...

Carl Shilleto, Mike Tolhurst

Interlink, 2004

Fascinating read

+ Help Along the Way of Liberty
+ Take this One With You

What makes this book stand out for me is the eyewitness reports, which are dotted throughout as you read this account of the D-Day landings. They bring alive the personal experiences of those who fought and help the reader appreciate the scarifices made. The book is a nice mix of the history of ...
  
  











  



  
Eiffel Tower (Modern Wonders of the World) (Modern Wonders of the World)1 review
Nate Leboutillier

Creative Education, 2006

Great book!

I don't know why every single person in the entire world wouldn't have this book in their collection. Would it be too bold for me to suggest that this book is a must-read for children and that all parents and teachers should buy it? I think not. The author is obviously a border-line genius or ...

Susan Swire Winkler, Caroline Lesieur

Cumberland House Publishing, 2006

Not just shopping!

+ A guide for all ages, price ranges, and wants!
+ Paris at its best!

I lived in Paris for two years (2004-2006) but didn't begin to shop until I found this book (recommended by Amazon). Often in Paris, the store windows don't really show much about what's inside, but this book tells everything you want to know before getting on the Metro. Every description was ...

Pilgrimages of Europe: Les Saintes de la Mer, France & Lourdes, France1 review

Janson Media, 2004

Boring....very, very boring

I just couldn't get into this documentary...perhaps I am spoiled by the mini-series "Planet Earth" or Michael Palin's travelogues. The sound alternated between too soft and too loud...the background music did not seem to fit the atmosphere and tone of the film at all. In fact, it put me right to ...

University of California Press, 2006

The Tour de France: A Cultural History.

+ Must-Read for True Tour de France Fans!
+ Why? Because nothing that lasts for over 100 years occurs in a vacuum

In writing The Tour de France: A Cultural History, Christopher Thompson has done that very rare thing: he has increased our net knowledge of the Tour de France. This is extraordinary given that the Tour has been the subject of writers for over 100 years. Mountains of books have been written about ...

Globe Trekker France

Darwin Porter, Danforth Prince

Frommer's, 2006

Needs to go back to editing

I usually am very pleased with Frommer's guides and tend to use them over other sources every time I travel. However, on my recent trip to France, I found some flaws with my copy of Frommer's France 2007. First off, I have always liked that they include a foldout map with most books, to give ...

Beware-this is a reprint!

This is a reprint of a hardbook in softcover form with a new cover photo. The content is wonderful but I already owned the hardcover and thought it was a "new book".
