I read through the entire book (parts of it, quite quickly). I think it's valuable as a resource when planning a trip to Paris - it doesn't very work well to just read through it.Saw a couple reviews, and the book looked interesting to me because we were planning a trip to Paris. And I very much liked the idea of incorporating day trips by train.
But the book isn't really a travel book, and isn't really a history - though it attempts to be both.
That being said, I definitely could see it as something one would purchase in e-book form and use while in Paris.
The author is married to a famous biographer (Robert Caro); his biography of LBJ has been on my list for awhile. She had a very annoying habit of constantly referring to whatever "Bob" was doing or thinking instead of just writing about whatever.
