Nairn's Paris

‘To call Ian Nairn a great architectural writer is too restrictive; he was a great writer who happened to write about buildings and places . . . Cities change, but the quality of Nairn’s writing will always hold. He will take you to unexpected places, make you look at the familiar anew, or at least poke you into thinking about them again.’ Irish Times 'Once you discover [Nairn]...you want to read everything he's written.' - Daily Telegraph More than a guide book - this is a journey of discovery. Out of print since 1968, this is a unique guide book to Paris from the late, great architectural writer, Ian Nairn. Illustrated with the author's snaps of the city, Nairn gives his readers an idiosyncratic and unpretentious portrait of the 'collective masterpiece' that is Paris.
