Title: The Paris Shopping Companion: A Personal Guide to the Finest Shops in Paris for Every Pocketbook by Susan Swire Winkler ISBN: 1-58182-255-3 Publisher: Cumberland House Pub. Date: 01 February, 2002 Format: Paperback Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $12.95 |

Summary: Limited and hard to use
Comment: This book is difficult to use and very limited in scope. It is organized by the right and left bank which is so broad as to be of little use. Occassionally, it will mention a street and rattle off the names of some stores on that street. Fewer adjectives and more hard information would have helped. A large amount of space is given to big name stores and famous designers that nobody needs a special guide to find. It mentions Limoges twice but gives no further information about where one can find Limoges. It didn't mention Gien, a famous French pottery which is now sold in Neiman Marcus. Other guides were much more useful than this book in helping locate clothing stores that would appeal to a teenage girl. The shopping information in the typical guide book was more useful and eaiser to access.

Summary: The most interesting,comfortable and easy to use travel book
Comment: I have enjoyed using this book, and shared it with no fewer then six friends this summer who also traveled to Paris. At a recent book club meeting, we all agreed that Ms Winkler's book provides the most unique and pleasurable guide to walking, or shopping in Paris.
I wish she (Susan Winkler) would right a guide to London!!

Summary: Luxe, Calme, et Volupte...especially Volupte!
Comment: Like the du Bellay poem, Winkler's book manages to take the chaos of delights to the senses that is Paris and make it intelligible, while preserving the serendipity and spontaneous spirit that characterises the City of Light. The Paris Shopping Companion provides an excellent entree into the city for the novice, and for the seasoned traveler -- or even parisienne -- it is like a generous old friend (one with a much better memory), always ready to offer advice and information. With an engaging style, The Paris Shopping Companion manages to achieve both being excellent bathtime reading and an invaluable reference, whether you are searching for pralines in the 16th or lithographs in the sixth. Of course, Winkler's knowledge of fashion is extensive, and her advice on shopping for clothes is spot-on; her assessments of a boutique's particular style are ringingly accurate. Lastly, Winkler includes interesting bits of information about landmarks, history, and the arts of one of the world's most fascinating cities. This book is more than a shopping guide -- it is truly a superb companion. Je suis accro!
