From Booklist
"The anthology Paris in Mind features a variety of essays by historical and contemporary American authors ranging from Thomas Jefferson and Mark Twain to Dave Barry and David Sedaris. The essays are divided into four categories: "Love (How to Seduce and Be Seduced Like a Parisian)," "Food (How to Eat Like a Parisian)," "The Art of Living (How to Live Like a Parisian)," and "Tourism (How You Can't Help Being an American in Paris)." Lost Generation writers supply tales of living in Paris at a time when it was not only an attractive locale for artistic reasons but was even cheaper than New York. And television writer Jennifer Allen (half French herself) writes of her wonderfully bizarre experiences at Euro Disney. A perfect collection for any American who has felt drawn to the City of Lights." Beth Leistensnider
