I thought this book was really helpful. The maps were great, just wish we had studied them a little more before we went! We had a great time in Paris and took the book with us everywhere we went. It helped us decide (before we went) which sights to see and which to leave out since our time in ...

Dale from British Columbia said: "I loved reading your book and was loathe to finish the last chapters. Val, you have a way of putting life into perspective with your wit, wisdom and way with ...

A Little Book That Helped A Lot!!

Great book! Highly recommended. Easy to use, easy to find the topics you need when you need them.

There are phrases for real ...
