It's here! The 2nd edition of The Traveling Professor's Guide to Paris was officially published on Monday. It is revised with over 20% more content based upon my many, many trips to Paris and my experiences in taking hundreds of people to Paris on my small group tours. It still maintains it's concise format, combined with practical information that made the first edition of the book the smashing success that it was. It is available through Amazon.Com at http://goo.gl/TNFCkk or through me directly. Read the blog post to see what's inside and to order the book through me directly.
