Praise for 750 Years In Paris

If walls could talk, this would be it: a superb concept, remarkably implemented.

—Booklist, STARRED REVIEW

This is a beautiful book by Vincent Mahe [...] It's the best thing Nobrow has published.
—Vice, #5 on VICE’s list of Top Ten Comics of 2015

"This is a masterpiece. Mahé captures the resilience and history of this city like no other historical work I have ever read. This is the kind of comic that takes a person aback and makes them realize the ingenuity that can be found in this medium. I cannot recommend it highly enough, as I know this book’s impact will stay with me for years."
—Comicosity

With the smallest of details, from words of storefront signs to the clothing of people to the state of the building itself, Mahé is able to subtly and masterfully inject humor, horror, nostalgia, historical facts and pride into his various images.
—BoingBoing

"Scenes of everyday life provide pacing between the historic events, and each page is lovingly illustrated. All history books should be as visually rich."
—Fast Company Design

"750 YEARS IN PARIS is a literary graphic novel that sets itself apart from the rest of the pack."
