1) Paperback Book Antique and Flea Markets of London and Paris by Thames & Hudson. This book met a lot of my expectations by being very portable, very well-illustrated, and full of good descriptions of the merchandise one is likely to find in London and Paris flea markets. "Antiquing" is a very visual experience for me, and having plenty of photographs to whet my appetite for the various shops was a real plus. The book was useful too in helping me plot which days to attend which markets. Even if the merchandise changes and vendors sometimes move, there is enough general information that stays constant for this to be a useful guide for several years. The two-for-one format--London and Paris in one book--is also fun. The only reason I didn´t give it 5 stars is because the maps could have been better. Otherwise, a great resource!¤ 2) Paperback Book Antique and Flea Markets of London and Paris by Thames & Hudson. Antique and Flea Markets of London and Paris is a book serious shoppers will love. While spending several summer months in London, I have visited a number of the markets described. The authors are right on target, and the photos are enjoyable. I learned about many features I´ve missed, and read about several new places to try on the next trip. The book realizes that shoppers are people, not machines, and tells a little about the market´s surrounding area, especially places to stop for a snack and a rest. I´m not as familiar with Paris, but if the Paris section is even close to being as accurate and useful as the London section, it will save shopping time and hassle across the channel, as it will in London. This is not "the" book for your trip if you need a complete guide book. If you like antiques and markets, however, you will love this book.¤ 3) Paperback Book Antique and Flea Markets of London and Paris by Thames & Hudson. For travelers and collectors in search of a colorful experience, this innovative back-to-back guide shows how to sample the twin delights of the flea markets of these two capital cities. 300+ color illustrations.¤ Page Updated: Robert N.
