Going to Paris? Don't Make This Mistake! [2]

E-mail from a reader: Back in the 90s, I had a copy of An Hour from Paris [3] and enjoyed the couple of trips I tried out. Just prior to a recent Paris trip, I figured one of Ms. Simms' trips would be perfect for my wife, our nine-month-old, and me. But when I packed the night before our departure, I couldn't find the book on our shelves! Then I remembered -- after spending all of 2007 in Paris, and for some reason having not gone on any "An Hour from Paris" trips, I decided to leave the book behind with a friend. 

Fast-forward to 2010. We arrive in Paris. Because I refused to abandon
my plan to take one of the "An Hour..." trips, I set out to Paris' many English language used book stores to find a copy. After visiting ten ---  yes, TEN --- stores, I finally found a copy (which I will now always treasure, and will NEVER leave behind in Paris again).
