About the author

Various is the correct author for any book with multiple unknown authors, and is acceptable for books with multiple known authors, especially if not all are known or the list is very long (over 50).

If an editor is known, however, Various is not necessary. List the name of the editor as the primary author (with role "editor"). Contributing authors' names follow it.

Note: WorldCat is an excellent resource for finding author information and contents of anthologies.

[Katya · Rating 4 out of 5]

Digging into this guide, I noticed that they have a calendar of events at the beginning of the book, outlining by month the activities that were planned to take place in the French capital throughout 2020. Skimming over it was a bit of a gut punch - so many hopes and dreams that did not come to fruition. (On that note, I wonder if there were any travel guides at all published for 2021?)

That devastating tidbit aside, this is a formidable guide. Not as in-depth as the excellent Frommer's, but holds its own over lackluster contenders like DK Eyewitness. It seems to do a good job at including locations and events more off the beaten path, along the usual suspects, yet doesn't dive too deeply to overwhelm the more casual traveler. I'd recommend Lonely Planet to the middle-of-the-road traveler - when you want to know just enough.

Llevo viviendo casi 6 años en París y puedo decir que la guía es bastante práctica y la recomendaría para quién esté de turismo en la ciudad. Cumple su función.
Está organizada por zonas y también por categorías (alojamiento, comida...). Los itinerarios por zonas son muy útiles.
Actualizaría los eventos por mes con las fechas correctas de 2023 y voilà!

Very useful for my trip to Paris for my 21st Birthday!!

Did miss out the fact that the tickets you buy (t+) must not be kept with credit cards or phones as they are demagnetised. But otherwise really useful and lots of good recommendations!!
