Concise and easy to read! Nov 04, 2009
This book is a must have if you are traveling to Paris for the first time. It answers all the basic questions like "What should I wear?", "How much should I tip?" and my favorite... "Are Parisians Rude?" If you don't have your own tour guide, then this book can be your guide! It is like traveling with a good friend who knows the ins-and-outs of Paris all its hot spots! I recommend it to all who travel to Paris.

A Wonderfully Good Travel Guide to Paris Nov 01, 2009
I purchased this book as an afterthought after buying Frommer's and Rick Steve's guides. Both of those books stayed in my suitcase as I carried the Professor's guide on the streets of Paris.
The book's restaurant recommendations are excellent. The advice and info on attractions really helped us in terms of planning our daily itineraries. The money (and time) saving tips were also very helpful. My only regret is that I did not take the Professor's advice when selecting my hotel.
I think this book is a big improvement over those "traditional" travel guides and I heartily rate "The Traveling Professor's Guide to Paris" as a "buy".
On My Way to Paris Oct 31, 2009
In the interest of full disclosure, the author is my cousin. When I saw he had a book on Amazon, I had to get it. Now that my family found it, they are planning a trip to Paris. I have not been to Paris in a while, so I have not been able to field test it. It is a nice concise guide, simple and straightforward, with a great deal of useful information. Congratulations Professor.
Advice from an experienced, straightforward traveler Oct 16, 2009
This was a welcome addition to the slew of books I took out in preparation for a recent trip to Paris. What makes this book unique is its concise format and straightforward delivery. It is easily transportable (we had it with us 24/7) and organized so that it cuts right to what you need to know about each item. The book is written in such a tone that you feel like you're getting advice from a friend or a helpful fellow traveler, which was something other guide books lacked. Because of this, during our trip my boyfriend and I constantly referred to what "The Professor" said about each destination before going there. Included is information on museums, restaurants, and shopping, as well as general information on Paris travel.

Professor Solosky an itinerate Francophile! Oct 14, 2009
Professor Solosky exudes more than relevance in his writings. His many travels to Paris assures accurate information for anyone considering a trip to La Belle France! His guide is concise and thorough but doesn't bog down with unecessary data. Steve paints a very nice picture of France. His opinions are up-front and honest. The Traveling Professor's Guide to Paris is a must read!
