Product Description
Following on the run off success of This is New York, Universe is tickled to reissue two more titles from M. Sasek’s beloved children’s travel series: This is London and This is Paris.
Like This is New York and This is San Francisco, This is London and This is Paris are facsimile editions of Sasek’s original titles. His brilliant, vibrant illustrations have been meticulously preserved and remain right to his vision. With the passing of time facts have been updated where applicable in the back of each book. Perfect souvenirs with timely and evocative appeal, the books have an elegant, classic look and delightful narrative that will charm both children and their parents, many of whom will remember them from their own childhood.
This is London, first published in 1959, presents impressions of London with its gorgeous buildings, historic monuments, bridges, parks, shops and Piccadilly Circus, black cabs, Horse Guards, and famed Underground.
This is Paris, first published in 1959, brings Paris, one of the most exciting cities in the world, to life. There are legendary buildings, gorgeous gardens, cafés, and the Parisians-artists, concierges, flower girls, and even thousands of cats. Take a tour along the banks of the Seine, through the galleries of the Louvre, and to the top of the Eiffel Tower.

This is a fantastic book for children. But, when I place this on my daughter’s wish I thought that it was a new book. Not so. There is nothing in the description that says it’s used. The book received is a used library book with stamps all over it. It was delivered terribly wrapped as well.
So, if you’re looking for a new book, this seller doesn’t provide. But, if you are looking for a book on London (or any additional European city for that matter) that’s written for children, you might want to buy anyway. They aren’t simple to find.

This book has gorgeous pictures and is worth buying for that reason alone. But, I thought the presentation of the content, although very informative, was a bit dry. My son was bored before the end, and he usually has a surprisingly long attention span.

I first saw this book while visiting London, England. It cost something like 20 pounds. I chose I’d wait til I got home and order it off of Amazon as a replacement for. Glad I did – it was far less expensive. It is also a fantastic book. Miroslav Sasek’s books on different locations across the globe are fantastic – fun art, informative and a nice sense of humor as well. A small outdated but the new editions tell you what has changed in the city since the original publication. I have really been collecting this series of books for every location I have been to (if there is a Sasek book out there for it – and so far there seems to be!).

Exclamations come to mind: gorgeous design and drawings, comprehensive and to the point guide! And this goes for all his city guides Paris, Rome, Venice and Hong Kong. You might argue it is a bit ancient fashioned, but I reflect you are confusing it with “it s one of the Classics”. And when something is called a Classic, it is timeless and a Must-Have! Trust me, it is worth your while and money!
