•Live Better South of the Border in Mexico
By "Mexico" Mike Nelson. The reviewer says, "I'm fifty, I'm gay, and I'm in a 12 step program. Mike's book doesn't assume every retiree is an old white couple in bermuda shorts. Mike talks to single women, the younger person who wants to quit the rat race, and to people who want to lead an active, healthier lifestyle."

•Choose Mexico For Retirement
By John Howells and Don Merwin, 1999, The Globe Pequot Press. Though the $600-a-month subtitle might seem difficult to achieve in today’s economy, co-author Don Merwin correctly points out that there are literally two sides to every coin in Mexico. As he told us, “We agree that there is a wider disparity than ever before between the prices paid by tourists and by residents (both native and foreign). But the country still has plenty of places where Mexicans and anyone else living there (or smart enough to get off the tourist track) can get accommodations and food of similar quality at a fraction of the cost.” The only thing I can add to that is, Bravo!

•Gringo's Investment Guide
The Gringo's Investment Guide is a book of laws and legal advice, so let's be honest: as attractive as the idea of buying your own hacienda in Mexico might be, many gringos fear they'll lose their shirts ? and perhaps their precious sanity ? in a morass...

Women
Mexico's foreign retirement communities might seem an unlikely setting for a great adventure story, but in Midlife Mavericks, Ajijic author Karen Blue reminds us that courage comes in many forms. Through a highly readable series of face-to-face interviews, Blue chronicles the stories of sixteen "Indiana Joans... ordinary women who have made extraordinary choices". In fact, the adventures this book relates is just the leading edge of a growing movement: single women moving to Mexico, overcoming their fears of the unknown and discarding old beliefs in search of new dreams....
