Review
"In his witty, high-concept, high-colored flipbook "Paris Versus New York: A Tally of Two Cities" ...Mr. Muratyan uses splashy collagist art to showcase the visual beauty marks of the two metropolises."--The New York Times
Book Description
A chic and humorous visual homage to two of the world's most iconic cities.
When Vahram Muratyan began his online travel journal, Paris versus New York, he had no idea how quickly it would become one of the most buzzed-about sites on the Internet-it garnered more than a million and a half page views in just a few months, and the attention of savvy online critics. Now Muratyan presents his unique observations in this delightful book, featuring visually striking graphics paired with witty, thought-provoking taglines that celebrate the special details of each city. Paris versus New York is a heartfelt gift to denizens of both cities and to those who dream of big-city romance.

This review is from: Paris versus New York: A Tally of Two Cities (Hardcover)
Anyone who has ever visited or lived in one of these two magical cities will be riveted by the beautiful graphic designs in this book as well as amused by the side by side comparisons, often wonderfully ironic. Vahram Muratyan has distilled the essence of both cities with love and a critical eye for each of them. The book is a terrific conversation piece and a great gift for anyone who loves to travel, either physically or just in the mind.

tres charmante, Feb 21 2012
By ParisBreakfast "ParisBreakfast.com" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Paris versus New York: A Tally of Two Cities (Hardcover)
Witty and fun comparisons that aren't a bit 'odious' unless you'd rather live in the opposite city..like Paris and who wouldn't? Visually and graphically arresting. Each city's icons do a face-off. I'll take Amelie over Carrie anyday. Or would I?
