Book Reviews of The People's Guide to Mexico (Peoples Guide to Mexico)

Book Review: The only travel book I've kept
Summary: 5 Stars

I've lived in a 23ft travel trailer since 2000. Space is obviously limited, so periodically I gather all the books I've acquired and sell or give them away.

All, that is, with one exception--the People's Guide. I bought an early edition in the mid 70s and have purchased every edition since to read and reread. Franz is an astute observer of culture and master story teller who writes with a knee-slappingly funny and outrageous style.

The People's Guide is simply the most informative, instructive and entertaining book I've ever read.

Summary of The People's Guide to Mexico (Peoples Guide to Mexico)

Now in its updated 13th edition, The People's Guide to Mexico still offers the ideal combination of basic travel information, entertaining stories, and friendly guidance about everything from driving in Mexico City to hanging a hammock to bartering at the local mercado.

Features include:
- Advice on planning your trip, where to go, and how to get around once you're there
- Practical tips to help you stay healthy and safe, deal with red tape, change money, send email, letters and packages, use the telephone, do laundry, order food, speak like a local, and more
- Well-informed insight into Mexican culture, and hints for enjoying traditional fiestas and celebrations
- The most complete information available on Mexican Internet resources, book and map reviews, and other info sources for travelers
