Blue Guide: Mexico
Paperback • 948 pages • 7.5 x 4.8 x 1.6 inches • Published: November 1996
The book has more detailed information than any other English language guide. The book packs the information in using small print, sometimes very small. Almost every location with something of artisitic or historic importance is covered, including some remote villages and ruins. Without the 34 page index, it would be difficult to locate the information needed. The book is especially thorough covering archeological sights.

Eyewitness Travel Guides: Mexico
Hardcover • 480 pages • 8.6 x 5.2 x 0.9 inches • Published: July 2010
The Eyewitness Travel Guides are among the most colorful. My favorite feature is the use of three-dimensional maps with drawings of the buildings and plazas. This is a good choice to sit and look at while dreaming about traveling in Mexico. The new edition now has more info on hotels and restaurants.

The People’s Guide to Mexico
Paperback • 624 pages • 8.4 x 5.5 x 1.3 inches • Published: Octobert 2006
This book is a category of its own. This is by far the most entertaining of the guides to Mexico. If you are looking for descriptions of sights, hotels and restaurants, this isn’t the book you want. But if you want an enjoyable, humorous, well-written personal account with advice on understanding Mexico, this is it. For more than 30 years people have turned to this book to get a feeling for Mexico.
