From the author
of "The Transitive Vampire" comes an invitation to a strangely
illuminated City of Light, "Paris Out of Hand." This seductively
beautiful replica of a 19th-Century travel book––replete
with illustrations of sights you will never see and maps that may
plummet you into a different era––guides readers through
the Paris that is, that might be, and that never was. Amid the Parisian
locales you know and love, unheard-of temptations abound. A rare and
rowdy entertainment that dares its readers to explore a Paris one
can only wish existed. For those Nick Bantock enthusiasts, his collaboration
on writing, illustration, and design for this book is more than prevalent.
