If you love to travel and want an insider’s perspective on what’s hot and what’s not, where to go and where to avoid, what beds are are lumpy and what restaurants to steer clear of, check out www.entreenews.com for more details and subscription information.”
“Why LA? Pourquoi Paris? author Diane Ratican tells what she loves most about Los Angeles and Paris, the gems her fine research process uncovered. Painted in 272 colorful pages with illustrations by Eric Giriat (Paris) and Nick Lu (Los Angeles), these two most significant and immediately recognizable cultural milieus are compared and contrasted, with the similarities and very stark differences exposed. Ratican focuses on the small differences too, and how they can shape a culture and create an identity behind a city, just as much as the more obvious cultural quirks. A wonderful coffee table book brimming with joie de vivre and cool California glamour, perfect for a holiday gift for your jetsetter friends this year.”
