In several places, Paris Underground shows details from several generations of map treatments of the same area or the same subway line, lined up next to each other. These layouts are my favorite part of the book.

If you are a fan of Paris, maps, and subways, have I got a book for you! If you are a fan of two out of the three, you'll probably think Paris Underground is pretty cool. Otherwise, it might be fun to flip through at your friend's coffee table, but you probably aren't going to put it on yours.

I'm jealous. My library has not seen fit to buy this book... so I still haven't seen it yet.
I firmly fall into the 3rd category, therefore I look forward to flipping through it at your coffee table.
Did I ever tell you that my wallet is a map of the New York Subway system?
Ben: I'll make sure to check it out of the library next time you're going to be coming over!
Jenners: Why, no! Like, a USABLE map? Or a decorative map? Send a picture!
