First this e-book's table of contents:1. Neighborhood Nuisances -- Paris' Quirky Quarters 2. Ineffable Baguettes and Other Food Faux Pas 3. Lost in Non-Translation 4. Paris -- Capital of Romance for Couples on Every Stage of Love 5. Dusty Relics and Their Fancy Museums 6. Oddities and Extravagances: Paris' Most Peculiar Annual Festivities 7. Shopping Sprees and Souvenir Sins 8. Paris After Dark -- a Tour of Revelry, Revelations and Regrets 9. Greenscapes and Escapes -- Navigating the Verdant Veins of Paris 10. Escape Acts -- Day Trips From Paris for the Restless Traveler Epilogue: The Last Croissant The author, Jesse Cranford, is correct -- this is an "unhelpful guide" to Paris, even if its "text" were accessible only electronically by 'smart' phone or other device. In Library Thing's rating scheme, it deserves a "star" for playful language -- ineffable baguette, quirky quarter, verdant vein. Esta reseña ha sido escrita por los Primeros Reseñadores de LibraryThing. The author does a great job of describing Paris, what to do, and what to watch out for, all while being entertaining and never imitating any other travel guide. The chapters cover Paris neighborhoods, food, romantic adventures, museums, shopping, nightlife, parks, and day trips. Each description also includes tips on who would like a particular venue, and who would not. It’s a tremendously helpful book, and I know a lot more about the city than I did before I read it. The shopping section covers souvenirs as well as clothing, and has one of the best lines I’ve ever read: “Remember, it’s better to leave Paris empty-handed than to fill your suitcase with regret.”I received an Advance Reader Copy of this book. I used a Scribe to read the Kindle edition of this book. The formatting, paging, and chapter references were perfect. Esta reseña ha sido escrita por los Primeros Reseñadores de LibraryThing. I loved all the descriptions of the events and places to go see in Paris. I just wish there was a map to see the areas in which she was describing for a reference. Esta reseña ha sido escrita por los Primeros Reseñadores de LibraryThing. Here we go again! Jesse finds a way to politely describe Paris in ways that make it sound like it is a horrible place that you just HAVE to visit it. The places he describes can be a bit harsh at times, but he does it in a way that makes you want to visit each and every place mentioned. He covers every aspect you would come to expect from a travel guide and more! I have never wanted to visit Paris before because I heard it was a dirty, disgusting city. Now, after reading this guide, there are several places I just cannot wait to see!! This is another must read, especially if you plan on visiting the city. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

I feel like the book would seriously benefit from some pictures and maps, maybe some cute cartoon drawings. Also, sometimes important information is missing, like which arrondissement each neighbourhood or shop is in or when some of the festivals and events take place.
This is a mostly fun look at Paris from an American perspective. But, as a Canadian who parle un peu français and has some exposure to French culture via Quebec, some of the funny bits perhaps didn't translate as well (ha!) for me. Nonetheless, I enjoyed the book well enough. ( )
