Book Review: Paris versus New York: A Tally of Two Cities

Paris versus New York: A Tally of Two Cities is a book that's born out of the blog of the same title created by Vahram Muratyan.

Each page is a visual match pitting Paris against New York. The graphics are drawn in simple vector style. It's fun to look at and if you're from either Paris or New York, you can relate more to it.

In the first picture the spelling of "expresso" is incorrect. It is suppose to be without an "x". Haha of all publishers you'd think Penguin would check these things (especially since there aren't many words in the book). It looks like a nice book though...

In reply to by R (not verified)

Expresso is the proper French spelling. Sometimes it's abbreviated to express'.

Never seen it without the 'x'. Maybe you were confusing it with English. The left pages are in French, the right in English.

That looks great! I'm French and my wife and I lived in NY for a while so I have to get this.
