.Rand McNally 2009 Road Atlas: United States / Canada / Mexico (Rand Mcnally Road Atlas: United States, Canada, Mexico)
City Travel Guides > Books > Mexico
from: Rand McNally & Company

May 15, 2008
When I was a kid, I loved every time that my family bought a new Rand McNally Road Atlas. As soon as I could, I would sit down with the atlas and trace rides across country, from state to state. Or I would look for strangely named communities or. . . . I would spend an hour or so at a time just going through those glorious maps.

More recently, this is my annual Christmas gift to my son (wonder if love of atlases has a genetic basis?). But I still will grab his copy when he's not around and go through it, just as so long ago.

This Atlas has taken on a more contemporary flavor. Now, there is a web site that you can go to on road construction. Plus other web sites listed to provide the road warrior with more information. ... Read More:

.God's Middle Finger: Into the Lawless Heart of the Sierra Madre
City Travel Guides > Books > Mexico
by: Richard Grant

March 04, 2008
This is an interesting book. It's written well and certainly held my attention. I accept the author's claimed experience as true and have concluded that this is not a trip I'd care to make. Unlike Sebastian Junger, it never occurred to me to stop reading and go see for myself, just as it never occurred to me to put his book down and go fishing in a hurricane.

There are enough reviews here already to describe the book from cover to cover. I'll only add that I read books like this to see how things are elsewhere. In this case, I consider the author a credible, skilled narrator. Consequently, I can't blame him for its characters

.Mexico (EYEWITNESS TRAVEL GUIDE)
City Travel Guides > Books > Mexico
by: DK Publishing

August 21, 2006
EYEWITNESS TRAVEL GUIDES are the best guides you could find. I've bought every one they have published to the places I have visited, and always know where I want to go and what are the most important places to visit,
with the pictures and 3D images of the buildings and maps I don't get surprises as to visit a place not worth while. You optimize your travel time. I have about twenty of their guides, just hope they increase the places they review in the near future.
I'm from Mexico and found it very useful.

.Mexican Spanish: Lonely Planet Phrasebook
City Travel Guides > Books > Mexico
by: Rafael & Cecilia Carmona, Lonely Planet Phrasebooks

October 01, 2003
I really like this book. Fits perfectly in your handbag or saddlebag out on the trail. All the basics are covered here and even some things you may never need to say at all - such as various pick up line in bars! There is a nice sense of humor paired with common sense throughout this phrasebook. However, if you need to find a particular word for a particular item you will need a true Engligh/Spanish dictionary rather than a phrasebook. I carry both with me almost constantly.

.First Stop in the New World: Mexico City, the Capital of the 21st Century
City Travel Guides > Books > Mexico
by: David Lida

June 12, 2008
I hope David Lida's book is the beginning of a new genre of literature about Mexico and other Latin American countries. For too long, the perception of Mexico in the U.S. has been shaped by news reports of crime and corruption. While conceding that these and other problems exist, Lida argues that the U.S. media's depiction of the country is sometimes "exaggerated and poorly researched."

Lida's main message is that the rich cultural elements of Mexico City make it a rewarding place to live for those who are willing to brave its many complications. In making his case, Lida does not down play the city's problems. Rather, he brings them into sharp focus. In doing so, he effectively conveys why Mexico City would be an interesting place to live or ... Read More:

.The People's Guide to Mexico (Peoples Guide to Mexico)
City Travel Guides > Books > Mexico
by: Carl Franz, Lorena Havens

October 04, 2006
This book is particularly useful for people who are going to be traveling outside of the touristy areas. It is packed with tons of little details that you'd never even think to ask. Definately a "must-have" for anyone really interested in Mexico.

.Moon Cancun and Cozumel: Including the Riviera Maya (Moon Handbooks)
City Travel Guides > Books > Mexico
by: Gary Chandler, Liza Prado

September 28, 2007
This is a very good guide, with tons of information on everything in the area. Its very well written also, and with a very good history section (the Maya civilization and their warrior-ways are very interesting and not generally known by most travellers).
We used it on our 1-week trip to the Tulum area with its eco-rustic 1-story oceanfront cabins(which range from $20 to $300 per night).
The only section that I would reccommend including is a CENOTE section (Cenotes are the unique caves and tunnels filled with water, which only exist in the Yucatan peninsula). The way the authors arranged the Cenote information in the book is just by mentioning the Cenotes in each region.
But in my opinion, the spectacular nature of the Cenotes deserve a stand ... Read More:
