A "Spectacular" Book December 11, 2008
Carol Reed
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Wow! The photography is wonderful and the wide pages (12 X 16) give the photographers, six given credit, the space they need to show off their truly impressive work. Those of Arnaud Frich are especially beautiful to me. The book is well organized, with chapters on History, Ile de La Cite and Ile St Louis,The Right Bank, The Left Bank, The Making of Modern Paris and one called simply City Life.The text includes a succinct and in my opinion well done history of Paris. To me the star of the book is still the photos which show off the city, yes, at its most spectacular. The book could have probably been even longer.
One annoyance is the spelling of magasin, repeatedly spelled with a "z". I know it's pronounced that way, but a good proofreader should have caught that basic error. A book this beautiful just should not have spelling errors.

This spring several friends and I had the joy of visiting Paris together and for Christmas, I wanted to give them a book on Paris to remember our trip. Spectacular Paris exceeds my expections. It is a beautiful photographic portrait of this lovely city and will bring back memories of our trip for years to come.
