Summary: Paris-budget size and super size.
Review: Beware, there are two hardcover versions of this book.
A small approximately 5" X 10" 78 pp hardcover edition at half the price of a larger(more pages and larger size) more expensive hardcover version.
I know, I bought the larger more expensive version after buying the smaller version, I knew I had to have the larger one.

Summary: Wonderful -- like Jack said -- but not sooo "short"
Review: I am writing mostly in response to the comments from Dr J E Robinson (Jack in Toronto). I share Jack's general appraisal that this is a "wonderful" book and "the photos are stunning."However, I felt that Jack's references to the book's size/length ("short book...not big....all too short") might unduly discourage potential buyers. This is a magnificent book, over-sized, with many double-paged, marginless photographs. The page count, 183, is not great but this is not a "small" book. It comes in on my postal scale at 3 1/2 pounds! I could easily see this book priced at $... As long as Amazon continues to offer it at $..., it is aa terrific value. An extra feature of this book that I particularly enjoy is the color, satellite image on the endsheets (front and rear). This is a great image for keeping yourself oriented. I give it an enthusiastic five stars, both in absolute terms, and in acknowledgement of what seems to me an excellent value.

Summary: Wow What a Book
Review: This is a short book featuring photography of Yann Arthus-Bertrand. The book is not big but the photos are stunning. Taken mainly in the summer there is lots of green and interesting subtle shades of yellow. Paris is a captivating city with its beautiful low buildings, the famous parks and architecture, and churches. They are all beautifully shown off from aerial views in this wonderful but all too short book. Everyone should have a copy of this book. Jack in Toronto
