1: How sad
It is very sad to that this author feels the need to twist and distort facts about living in Mexico. He seems to have the need to built up his own self esteem by denegrating those expats who enjoy living in Mexico. His rantings about San Miguel de Allende show him to be a very sad, small, and poorly informed author. Please find another book if you want to leaarn about and enjoy the many cities and wonderful people in Mexico.

2: A Lovely New Home in Mexico
When I read the autobiography of former Mexican president Vicente Fox who hails from Guanajuato State I became curious about the city of the same name. My research led me to this useful little book packed full of practical information about the charming, historic city of Guanajuato. The book is clearly written and my only criticism is the frequent repetition of information. It could use some fine tuning by a careful editor. I found it clear, honest, helpful and even inspiring. Muchas gracias Doug and Cindi Bower.

3: Guanajuato, Land of the Frogs
Another good book by Doug Bowers and his wife. If you are considering living in Guanajuato, Mexico all his books need read by you.

4: Ho, hum another self published mismash
How to books about Mexico often fail as they are outdated...this is just another self important,self published guide book.
Mexico Connect is a good starting point.

5: Great Info if you are thinking about going
This book is really good at explaining life in Guanajuato. It tells what to expect if you want to shop, take public transportation, stay for awhile, eat, buy property, etc. The number one piece of advice offered is to LEARN TO SPEAK SPANISH. The author recommends this town as a place to go if you want to experience authentic Mexican life and culture. It hasn't been taken over yet by americans. However, my neighbors across the street told me this week that there are more and more tourists visiting there and more americans buying property (the neighbors are from that area). I highly recommend that you read this book before you go!
