Conroy in the Philadelphia Daily News:
In Savoir-Flair! Polly Platt not only

William
Tomicki, in his Travel Q and A in the New York Times syndicate,
recommends Savoir-Flair to a reader who sent him this question:
"I am moving to France for business and am beginning
to get nervous about how well I will adapt. Are there books or newsletters
out there with tips that can help?"
Tomicki answers:
Savoir-Flair!
is a hands-on guide for people who are thinking about settling in France.
It's filled with real-life anecdotes of just how accessible helpful and
delightful the French can be. The book is packed with tips on everything
from how to charm waiters into giving you a better meal to the etiquette
of hosting a business lunch. In a country where small gestures speak volumes,
this guide is indispensable.
Barbara
Boatright, in the San Antonio Express-News:
One thing you'll need to do before you arrive in
France, or maybe even before you leave home, is to get a copy of Savoir-Flair!

Ms. Boatright's review.
The
New Orleans Times Picayune heralds Savoir-Flair! as the
indispensable friend for travelers to France:
Platt understands her adopted country and the things
Americans need to know. I'll put Ms. Polly's new book right up there with
the Paris Zagat restaurant survey as necessities on my next trip to Paris.
