It was a short stay in Paris so I wanted something small and light weight. Paris made easy written by Andy Herbach (Thank you so much, Corey) and Paris were very complimentary to each other. Paris made easy had a great personal reviews about both popular and "hidden yet cool" sites to visit. Really appreciated the walking tours which took me to places where I would never able to find by just being there for three days. (Though I would start the walking tour as suggested, totally detoured... and ended up somewhere on the other side of the city... still it was good to have a general guideline where to stroll.) His writing is very interesting as well. On the other hand, the guidebook Paris was more useful as a map tool (both for streets and metros) instead of providing much of cultural information. So glad I had both...
Thanks for the kind words about my Paris Made Easy book. Paris Made Easy has been updated and the new book (all in color, with great photos and better maps) is Open Road's Best of Paris (2nd edition). www.eatndrink.com
