Book Reviews of TASCHEN's Paris
Book Review: Amazing book!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a truly amazing book. It has the high-quality color photographs one expects from Taschen, along with wonderful maps. The graphic design is excellent - each page is both visually appealing and easy to read, and the tabs differentiating the three sections (hotels, restaurants and shops) are the perfect design solution to navigating such a large book.
The book covers hotels, restaurants and shops in Paris. Each hotel, restaurant and shop listing includes a brief overview of the history and design of the establishment and several pages of glorious photographs. Each section is organized by neighborhood:
Palais Royal / Musee du Louve
Champs-Elysees / Etoile
Montmarte / Pigalle
Marais / Bastille
Pantheon
Saint-Germain-des-Pres
Saint-Sulpice / Sevres-Babylone / Montparnasse
Musee d'Orsay / Rue du Bac
If you are planning a trip to Paris, by all means consult this book, but don't expect to carry it around with you -- it is large and heavy. It is an interior design book as much as a travel guide, a photographic tour of the architecture and interiors of commercial Paris. It is an excellent source of inspiration and ideas for designers. Highly recommended.
