Summary: Useful but not the bible
Comment: Working in middle management at a French company, I travel frequently to Paris. On each trip, I spend a day sightseeing or shopping. Recently, I purchased this book and have found a lot of helpful tips. For instance, snobby friends back home are more impressed by a $5 box from La Maison du Chocolat than a larger box of (potentially better) boutique chocolate. Or the fantastic convenience of a Carte Orange. Or where to ask for the discount card at Galleries Lafayette. And I agree with her commonsense recommendations, like avoiding buying American fashion or Japanese electronics while in Paris.
The book is not perfect, however. Many of her favorite Parisian stores are not so interesting now that they are appearing in the Western Hemisphere, like Sephora and Occitane. And I don't rely on her restaraunt recommendations. But the little tidbits have more than paid for the cost of the book.

Summary: If Shopping is your priority...
Comment: What a great book for the truly shopping oriented trip. Suzy tries never to bog anyone down with nonshopping related tips or information, unless she is including a lunch or coffee/tea break...her review of the louve involves a rundown on the gift shops and her D'Orrsay recommendation involves only the Rotunda Restraunt. You have to admire her dedication.
Her hotel reviews are super snobby, she raves on about 5 star hotels and seems pained to review anything less. Overall, I loved this book!

Summary: don't leave home without it
Comment: Long live Suzy Gershman! This was the best, most helpful travel book I have ever bought and made this trip to Paris my most productive, happy and fun EVER. Every suggestion was right on target. Her taste is fabulous and her walking/shopping tours unbeatable. I will follow this woman anywhere.
