Yann Arthus-Bertrand montre dans ce livre légendaire des photos qui portent un regard nouveau sur la ville, comme une plongée dans l'intimité des rues, des toits, des cours, des monuments, soulignant la poésie propre à chaque quartier. Le vieux Paris de Montmartre,, le Paris historique des monuments emblématiques comme la tour Eiffel, ou encore le Paris moderne de la Défense, comme on ne les voit jamais d'en-bas. Des textes de Philippe Trétiack ponctuent ce parcours, expliquent comment s'est construite la ville, évoquent sa couleur ou sa musique, dévoilent ses dessous…

This somewhat smaller (in physical size; page number is identical) than the original edition. It is close to A4 size in landscape format and so is not "small" and I find the size to be perfectly adequate. The photography is of the expected high quality and reproduction is fine (the "cheaper" edition is presumably entirely about size rather than quality of print or paper etc). It is published by Editions du Chene/Hachette Livre and is printed in Italy.
The imperfections relate to the formatting. For those only interested in a coffee-table book with pretty pictures and don't care much about the content, then they won't be bothered about my concerns.
First, I have a gripe with many similar books when the information (caption) to each photo is not on the same page (or opposing page). Instead captions are grouped together approximately every ten pages, ie. with 8-10 captions together. That is marginally better than the even worse/dumber habit of some modern books of putting them all together at the end of the book! Worse, the location of the captions is not consistent--in some cases it is before the group of photos they describe, sometimes after, and in at least one case, both! It shouldn't be a chore to read about the photo. I suppose this is justified on the dubious argument that captions within the photos themselves would compromise the integrity of the photo. But I would prefer that or to have the photos slightly smaller on the page with the caption adjacent on the same page.
Second, although I always am hungry for more information on the subject I would say the ≈50 to 100 words is not bad, however location information is inconsistent. Sometimes street addresses are given but sometimes there isn't a clue as to where the subject is. I reckon at minimum the arrondissement should be given (or suburb, as a few are just outside Paris). I really like to get a geographic feel for a city so I would actually like a map showing where the photos are taken. In fact the endpapers are double-page spreads of a satellite (or high-flying plane) image of Paris which is nice but for most people not very useful--it could have easily had the numbers of the photos on it.
Third, the text pages are not numbered while the photo pages have the page number (and 2 or 3 word decriptor) in tiny print in the inner (binding) edge on both facing pages! This adds to gripe #2 in making it a real bore to connect the two or to find a photo from the caption, or the index.
Fourth, the index is deeply inadequate. Only about half the photos or locations are listed (≈130 of 232) and are listed in a very uninformative, impractical manner, eg. all "Places" are listed under P. It is really quite trivial for a proper index to be compiled and I like it to be done in several ways, such as alphabetical (but using the unique name not the generic feature like P for Place or S for Square!) and by arrondissement (which is the primary way one thinks of Paris in a geo-location sense). Almost certainly the publisher already has this information compiled in some file.
And that brings me to gripe at those editors. There were a whole bunch involved in the production of this book (7 listed in addition to the 2 authors), not counting the unpaid interns who probably did the actual work! So there is no real excuse for being so lazy on all these issues. They are really not adding much to the publishing exercise and are not serving the photographer well. Such a pity when one realizes how much time and effort has gone into getting these photos.
There are really only two other comparable books.
The first was Robert Cameron's (and Pierre Salinger) Above Paris which was published in 1984 (and to my knowledge not updated). Although it has fewer pages at 160 compared to 232, it somehow seems more comprehensive. That may partly be due to the larger format (book & pictures) and so each photo covers a wider aspect. The spectacular cover photo is an excellent example because it encompasses both islands, part of the Marais and right-bank highlights such as Hotel de Ville, Louvre, Centre Pompidou, Les Halles etc; and Leftbank. It also covers the near banlieu (cathedral Saint Denis, Neuilly etc), the airports and many of the fabulous chateaux in Ile de France.
The other book is Philippe Guignard's "Paris Flying High" published in 2007. It is a smaller format (a bit bigger than A5 in landscape) than the Arthus-Bertrand book, but I wouldn't hold that against it. At 518 pages it is two and a quarter times the size of the latter so it also feels more substantial.
Both these other books have better organization with respect to captions but both don't have much in the way of geo-location information. I'm a fan of all three books so it is hard for me to suggest only one of them. This version of the Arthus-Bertrand book is a great bargain at the Amazon price.
