...despite my years and years of wandering the streets of Paris and discovering previously unknown places to savor, I found several I had not known about, described here with panache, depth and humor, and accompanied by photos that made me want to crawl through the pages.

This very fine book, full of photographs and information for the most part unknown to the casual traveler, is a collection of articles he has previously published about the secret of what makes Paris so unique.

...if you are planning a trip and want to do anything more than just seeing the Louvre, the Musee D'Orsay and the Eiffel Tower, I'd advise you to read "Paris Insights" first.

Paris Insights—An Anthology is a collection of short articles and interviews about Paris, compiled or written by Tom Reeves, an American who now calls "the city of light" home.  Most of the articles are about three pages long, making them easy to read in short periods of time—such as when I needed a break from studying for classes or was sitting down to nurse Lilibet.  The articles are accompanied by black and white photographs that help bring the topics alive.

Paris Insights – An Anthology is a wonderful, inspiring love letter to Paris. It's full of insightful essays about 5 different aspects of Paris: La Vie Parisienne, Americans in Paris, Churches and Cathedrals, Tasty Treats, and Paris, Past and Present.

If you were to look up some old friends in Paris and ask them what to see and do, this is what you'd get...

There are two things in this world that inspire unbridled passion: 1) the city of Paris, and 2) chocolate. For Valentine’s Day, Tom Reeves’ Paris Insights – An Anthology will whet readers’ appetite for both!
