Paris: A literary companion by Ian Littlewood

This little volume captures the spirit of Paris like few other guidebooks. Carrying it about Paris will greatly enhance the experience of the city for those who have cultivated an acquaintance with the art of literature.

Sultry Climates: Travel and Sex by Ian Littlewood

Interesting foray into the origins of East-West and cold-warm climate erotic tension, but feels half-finished.
