This brings to gather a wide variety of essays and excerpts from Americans from all eras and walks of life. From Thomas Jefferson to Gertrude Stein, it seems like every semi-famous American who has visited Paris is represented. In any collection you're going to have some outstanding entries and some that you just skim but overall this was solid.
