Fromer's Paris 2009 Portable1
This is a cheaply produced rip-off, very limited, very unattractive compared to the Michelin green guides.I guess one should not expect much for $11, but this book will be even less than you expected. It has just a couple of small B&w maps and very little useful information. You can get much more info free of charge from any number of web sites. Don't waste your time and money on this one.Frommer's Portable Paris 2009
