=93To know Paris is to know a great deal,=94 as Henry Miller once said --
an understatement if there ever was one. Well, Tom Reeves knows Paris,
no doubt about that, and in Paris Insights =96 An Anthology he shares
that knowledge in bright, fresh, first-hand re****ts about life in this
endlessly fascinating city, enhanced by an outstanding array of
photographs. The book contains a batch of mouth-watering essays called
=93Tasty Treats,=94 worth the price of the book in themselves.

of Light (Counterpoint Press, 2008)
I thoroughly enjoyed reading Paris Insights =96 An Anthology! It
reminded me of the things that I love about Paris and the places that
I still want to see, and it also inspired me to think of things that I
now want to do. Easy to read and very informative, I think that it is
the perfect starting point for planning travel to Paris.

If you were to look up some old friends in Paris and ask them what to
see and do, this is what you'd get =97 a witty, incisive and always
informative compilation of sights, sounds and good advice about
enjoying the City of Light from an insider's vantage point (I knew
they were on the right track when the described their favorite
chocolate shop in Paris and it was NOT Angelina!!!). It's a wonderful
valentine to Paris, unlike anything you're likely to find in a
standard guidebook. Buy it before your next trip!!!

I've always embraced the notion that if something is in a brochure, I
don't want to know about it. If it's in a regular guide book, it's
usually more promotional than informational. But this book is the
antidote to typical tourism hyperbole. It literally points you in the
right directions =96 telling you who to see, when to see them, and what
to ask for. It's a true insider=92s guide to one of my most favorite
cities in the world, written by someone who has lived the special
experiences you'll never find in a guide book.
=96 Peter Greenberg, Travel Editor, NBC News
Paris Insights =96 An Anthology is at once witty, original, absorbing
and a swift read. It offers precisely the kind of insider's view of
the French capital =96 and the people who live there =96 that first or
even second time visitors pine for. It offers the tips and historical
details that can help them transform a Paris stay from a mundane
tourist excursion into an extraordinary experience. The essays give
fresh perspectives on Notre-Dame, Les Champs-Elys=E9es and other Paris
classics. At the same time, they offer up-to-date information about
the hipper, newer cafes and other venues and trends taking hold in
this ever-changing European urban stronghold. And for those who just
want to know where to get the best hot chocolate, coffee and croissant
in the city, it's got lots of answers, too. Forget the standard
guidebooks. This is a Paris Traveler's must-read.
