{PRETITLE} Paris: An Inspiring Tour of the City's Creative Heart {POSTTITLE}

This is a very helpful guidebook for design shop addresses and for the author's descriptions of various old Parisian neighborhoods that have recently become "hot" locations for the new group of design boutiques that this book highlights. The presentation is stunning in both its photography and page layout. Many pages are bordered vertically by a colorful grosgrain ribbon design.

Nevertheless, the book is unfortunately marred by occasional incorrect cultural, geographical or historical information and often exhibits very sloppy proofreading efforts. For an author who writes that she spent both short and long sojourns in Paris, she and her editors at Plum and Chronicle Books did not take enough time to correct their galleys which were brimming with numerous French errors.

I would like to address examples of both content and form that are misleading or incorrect. McCulloch writes about a newspaper named La Liberté; could she be speaking instead about the left-wing daily Libération? In addition, the Église Saint-Sulpice is referred to as a cathedral (pg 62) and she makes a droguerie almost sound like a pharmacy (pg 175). McCulloch's historical explanation of how the Latin Quarter got its name is somewhat short-changed as she fails to mention that Sorbonne students actually spoke Latin among each other, reflecting the diversity of the university's student body in the 13th century. The Left Bank is characterized by her as mostly in the 6th district, but four other arrondissements border the river on the south side.
