Here’s a good book recommendation for Francophiles. I found the best small bookstore in tiny Searsport Maine about a month ago. It has the perfect name: Left Bank Books. It has a terrific selection of travel books. One (of many) I bought and love is entitled Parisians: An Adventure History of Paris. It’s by Graham Robb, who has done excellent research. He tells unknown stories of famous people in Paris — sort like Paul Harvey’s “Rest of the Story” thing although these are much better and not so corny. They are fascinating. Anyone familiar with Paris and its history will enjoy this book, I’m sure.
