Product Description
Review
"...a beautiful photo display with a double gatefold cover and a series of visual treasures." -- Bookwatch
Book Description
The signs of France are a gateway into a country proud of its artistic heritagea past that reveals itself in every nuance of daily life. Steven Rothfeld has been recording these images for decades, capturing the milky cornflower blues and faded yellows, the hand-lettered, the neatly printed, even signs made from blown glass and wooden carvings. Their uniqueness and the beauty and sensibility of these signs reflect the visual sense of identity that is France. Rothfeld's gallery is accompanied by acclaimed author Andr Aciman's text, transporting the reader fully to another world.

Disappointed,
By A Customer
This review is from: Entrez: Signs of France (Hardcover)
I was disappointed with the book. I was expecting the book to have pictures of many beautiful wrought iron signs that are common in France. However, it only had one. Most of the pictures are plain text signs.

a lovely book and a good idea for a present,
By A Customer
This review is from: Entrez: Signs of France (Hardcover)
This book brought me back to the streets of the France I know. It is a perfect book to give as a present, the photos are excellent, the text is discrete and often brings a smile... the whole book is a delightful walk throughh the streets of France and a gentle and fun exploration of French life.

nice photos, atrocious text,
By michael kahn (Long Island) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Entrez: Signs of France (Hardcover)
The images are fine, but the text is the equivalent of hearing one of those obnoxious, ignorant and loud tourists babble endlessly about their bigoted views. Being a lover of France and having lived there for over 30 years I got this as a gift. It was only when I started to read the text that I started to think "hey, wait a second... what the hell?" Thankfully, not even insultingly dumb text can scratch the belle france. As the locals would say, "merde!"
