His Dark Materials

Mr. Hunter isn't sure just what kind of creature his daemon would be, but he's still a fan of The Golden Compass, by Philip Pullman.  Here's a stack of the book featuring its original U.K. title: Northern Lights.

Travels with Montel: A Bit of Paris

Before his trip, Dave had consulted with Mr. Hunter's caretaker about places to visit in Paris. Well, among all the other Paris standouts, the caretaker also had fond memories of shopping at Brentano's on the Avenue de l'Opera back in 2007.  But when she looked up the address for Dave, she found out that Brentano's had since closed! 
 Damn.  One more bookstore gone out of business.

Brentano's est fermé.

The Eiffel Tower was, of course, open for business.
