I lived in Paris 10 years ago and still visit every 2 or 3 years. I would definitely take this book with me the next time I visit. The size is just perfect to carry around and there are a lot of interesting shops featured that are new to me.

This is a book for all lovers of design and decorating, but beware, it might not be your cup of tea. I found it to be a disappointing read, although the photographs are beautiful. The size of the tiny booklet was disappointing too.

If you love hand made stuff - everything from chandeliers to fabric items - you'll love looking at the beautifully photographed Paris workshops in this book. The writing is good enough too, but I'll be picking it up again and again for the pictures. Wonderfully done. It's the next best thing to being there, well, at least for now.

A beautifully illustrated small guide to chic shops and studios in Paris where things—from umbrellas to shoes to jewelry—are handmade. "Paris may very well be one of the last remaining international cities that strives to protect and nurture her artisans," writes the author in her introduction.

Although it was an interesting book, it really can't be fully appreciated unless you're in Paris. Definitely a great book to flip through for visiting the off-the-beaten-path Paris. Someday I'll pick it up again! Beautiful photography.
