It is Hampshire's meticulous detail which lifts his work way beyond the range of other books with similar titles. This book is absolutely indispensable.'

'When you buy a model plane for your child, a video recorder, or some new computer gizmo, you get with it a leaflet or booklet pleading 'Read Me First', or bearing large friendly letters or bold type saying 'important' follow the instructions carefully'. This book should be similarly supplied to all those entering France with anything more durable than a 5-day return ticket.' ("Living France").
