Book Reviews of Markets of Paris: Food, Antiques, Artisanal Crafts, Books & More, with Restaurant Recommendations
Book Review: Missing 20 pages: 81 - 100
Summary: 1 Stars
The book is flawed. You get to page 80 and then see pages 61 - 80 repeated, with pages 81 - 100 missing. Obviously there was a flub in the assembly, but what excuse could there be for not catching it? An unpardonable sloppy job.
Aside from that, the book design is like a burr under the saddle--a real PITA. Created to be transportable (I'm assuming), it's small and compact; however, the thick, squarish volume is fat and unwieldy in the hands, and along with eye-squinting miniscule text, the two together are grating nuisances that quickly deplete any and all natural patience.
This book has an Inspector Clouseau effect, so don't be surprised if while trying to read/use it you (like Chief Dreyfus) are suddenly afflicted and transform from a sane and happy being to a homicidal twitching mass of nerves with the urge turn this annoying paper heap into a flying projectile...because this book can do that to you.
If you buy this book, I highly advise adding a bottle of Tylenol to your cart, too, because at the very least you can expect a whopper headache. lol

Summary of Markets of Paris: Food, Antiques, Artisanal Crafts, Books & More, with Restaurant Recommendations
The only complete guide to every street market and market district in Paris, with beautiful full color photographs throughoutPerhaps the most pleasurable way for any visitor to feel at home in Paris?and one of the easiest ways to get to know the city?is to meander through any of its dozens of street markets. It's also the best way to find a wide variety of uniquely French gifts?from antique books and botanical prints to flea market finds and household goods?not to mention legendary cheeses, produce, and bounty of the French countryside.
The authors have explored and described every market in every neighborhood. They also have included streets that are devoted to selling one type of thing?from the centuries-old booksellers along the Seine to those lined with stores selling items as varied as fabric and discounted designer clothing.
And, for everyone who feels their time in the city is all too short, they have suggested itineraries based on the opening days of the markets with local restaurant recommendations.
Also included are tips, translations of important phrases, and pointers on what to look for so that the visitor will be able to make the most of this exhilarating and fun French experience.
All the market information is supplemented by sidebars that round out the experience, including a listing of favorite wine bars, a visit to the wood oven in the cellar of the famous bakery Poilane, and strolls down the best shopping streets in Paris.
