I would just like to say, be careful when reading the reviews for this product. I searched for the 2007 (14th) edition of Let's Go: Paris and was presented with ranting reviews from 2005, when the book was not even written. This guide book is great and accurate, and the mistakes in the 2005 book are not applicable to this updated version. Please be aware of when the reviews were written and about which version. I am not sure why they even show up for this book.
The only book I needed!

This book was my bible for the trip I took to Paris. The pages are so worn and dog-eared and wine-stained, it makes me laugh to look at it. Indispensable if you're making up your own funky itinerary (on a budget!) and looking for your own experience of Paris outside of guided tours and bus trips.
GREAT BOOK

Let's Go Paris 2007 offers a wealth of information! It is easy to use, organized well, and focuses on budget traveling. I found my hotel in the 5eme for only 65 euros a night - thanks Let's Go! It also outlines dangerous areas in Paris, cheap places to drink, and describes sights and musuem by neighborhoods. The maps are great as well. I found it much more useful than Lonely Planet France or Frommer's Paris for budget traveling.
The new edition is GREAT!!!

Hey, all, So, I agree completely with everyone's cranky reviews of Let's Go: Paris 05. As it turns out, they've completely redone quite a bit for the 07 edition, and I found it quite accessible and useful. They've totally reorganized the Entertainment, Food, and Nightlife sections so that they're all by arrondissement: no more of the idiotic subdivisions. Plus, all the information in the chapter is in a handy table on each chapter's opening page, so you can really do a fast find if you need to. Plus, the maps have improved tenfold. They've got the "Paris by Arrondissement" map as well as a map that breaks the city down into cultural areas, and ones that highlight suggested itineraries. Bottom line: 07 is incredible. I've seen Lonely Planet, Frommers, etc., and LG is the way to go.
Don't believe the un-hype

Hey, I found this book really useful as a complement to Rick Steves book - you need both. The maps in the back were fantastic and accurate; the listings (unlike other books) were by arrondissement, which is really helpful, and it had great patisserie/boulangerie recommendations. Get both books.
