Book Description

Over the years, shopping has grown from the traditional need to supply and provide subsistence into an everyday habit associated with leisure, social activity, and pleasure. Consequently, designing store windows has become an art form in itself. These settings, whose final objective is always to seduce the possible consumer, are laid out according to different concepts of color, light, materials and disposition. This book shows how successful store windows have become an important mediator between goods and the consumer. The volume includes windows designed for legendary, world–famous brands the likes of Versace, Burberry, Chanel, Dolce & Gabbana, Gucci, Prada, as well as the designs from top professionals such as Simon Doonan for Barneys.

In Through the Windows of Paris, the reader is spirited away, like Alice through the looking glass, to a Paris where old-world skill and personal service are still the rule. Each of the 50 listings--every one the sort of establishment you'd love to seek out on your next trip--is treated with a rich spread of color photographs and an evocative depiction:

[Le Pont Traversee] One of the grandest boucheries in Paris, with the patterned marble façade and carved wood frames, has become a wonderfully ramshackle bookshop that specializes in literature of every kind. Established in 1974 by the poet Marcel Béalu, it is now run by his widow, Josée. Ceiling hooks recall the sides of beef and lamb that must once have occupied the space; now the challenge is to step lightly around tottering piles and climb the ladder past laden shelves, hoping they won't come crashing down in your search for an elusive volume of Baudelaire's poetry.

Step through doors decrepit or grand, deco or nouveau, and discover a wealth of unique, handmade treasures that would put Cartier to shame. The wine merchants, chocolatiers, toy makers, milliners, antiques shops, and lingerie makers celebrated in this charming little book define craftsmanship and good taste, and provide a sumptuous alternative to a day in line at the Louvre. --Jhana Bach

Book Description

Shop windows and interiors are among the glories of Paris-as enticing as its museums and grand vistas but far less tiring to explore. They distill the qualities we most admire in the City of Light: a love of fantasy and tradition of craft and style, and the art of doing simple things well. The richly illustrated text of Through the Windows of Paris sketches the history of shopping in Paris and evokes the special character of the city. There is no better place to find it than in the boutiques selling crusty bread and creamy cheese, witty hats and luxurious lingerie. Michael Webb has chosen fifty of the most intriguing shops in Paris for their individuality and the beauty of their displays. New or old, tiny or expansive, they engage all the senses and reveal the true character of the capital. This book comprises 160 color images of fifty unique shops and a comprehensive list of addresses, telephone numbers, and metro stops. Whether you make the trip from your armchair or hop on the next plane, this book will guide you, in words and pictures, through the windows of Paris.

the character of paris.......2000-10-05

a wonderful book, showing the real character of paris to whet your appetite. as someone who is soon to go to Paris for the first time, i loved this book for doing the legwork for me in finding those little boutiques that add character to your holiday , that i probably would have missed. i'm sure they will lead me to other great little shops and experiences.

Beautiful book - great addresses!.......1999-06-09

As a part-time resident of Paris, I thought I knew all of the "bons addresses", those hard-to-find shops where you can find that perfect, unique gift for yourself or someone at home. I was wrong! On my next trip to Paris, I'll be looking into a number of the lovely boutiques mentioned in this book. Not only are the addresses provided, complete with compelling descriptions, but there are gorgeous photos that make your mouth water in anticipation of actually visiting these havens of shopping pleasure, if only to browse and take in the beauty of their wares. Bravo to the authors and photographer!

Highly recommended - one of the best reference cards I've ever seen!.......2007-06-26

With a low price and packed with tons of useful information, this quick reference card is great for any user. It minimizes the time you'd have to spend searching through the instruction manual by outlining easy-to-follow steps for all of the functions you'd ever really need to use. The format is great and the content even better. It made me even more excited to use Microsoft Word 2007!

It can't hurt.......2007-04-26

This large format, tri-fold card has lots of stuff packed onto it. If you're completely new to Word, it will certainly be useful. If you're an old hand, however, and are hoping to figure out all the new locations and features, it isn't enough. For that, just find the Office 2003/2007 toolbar help on the microsoft help site. Get the card for reference, though. It can't hurt.
