If you are a regular visitor to this site then you probably share my bibliophilia. The majority of my selections are about France, Paris in particular but as sophisticated, omniverous readers, our interests are unlimited and so I have added many other personal favorites including classic American Fiction, Biography, History and detective fiction from the early masters like Hammet & Chandler to their contemporaries, Connelly, Child and Connolly.
