...Paris, Je T'Aime offers the (brief) pleasures of a Paris shoot to an international gang of directors and a bunch of good actors - some well-known, some less so - who have contributed 18 short films, some no more than inconsequential vignettes, other rather nicely worked out short stories, to this largely festive enterprise. All of them are handsomely mounted - Air France should work out a promotional deal with the producers - and they are variable in quality.

Je Suis le Cahier: The Sketchbooks of Picasso (Atlantic Monthly Press; 347 pages; $65) documents that revolution of vision through the artist's eyes. The book reproduces six sketchbooks and includes selections from 36 others, each illustrating the development of images and styles that dominated the painter's major periods. Scholars should find this work indispensable; art lovers...
