Last printed in 1968, this is a unique guidebook from the late, great architectural writer Ian Nairn. Illustrated with the author's black and white snaps of the city, Nairn's Paris captures the city on the cusp of great changes and provides a glimpse of a city that is about to disappear. Here is an idiosyncratic and unpretentious portrait of the 'collective masterpiece' that is Paris.

Ian Nairn (1930-1983) was a British architectural critic and topographer. He coined the term 'subtopia' for the areas around cities that had in his view been failed by urban planning.
