The People's Guide to Mexico won the "best travel book" award from the Independent Publisher Association (formerly Small Press Book Awards).
"If youre looking for the lowdown on Mexico, this is it. Celebrating its twenty-fifth anniversary edition, The Peoples Guide to Mexico is no mere ordinary guide book, and reading it is no mere ordinary experience....."
"The Peoples Guide To Mexico. If you read it and apply Carl and Lorenas vast storehouse of wit, knowledge and understanding to your own experiences in Mexico, the People's Guide method of mellow and adventurous travel will become automatic....."
I wrote a letter recommending The People's Guide to Mexico when Salon magazine's travel writer asked readers to nominate the century's best books of travel writing. My comments were included in the resulting article.
The article's author refers to my suggestion as "offbeat." Maybe he considered the Guide out of place next to books expressly offered as literature. The People's Guide to Mexico is definitely not A Year in Provence. Thank God.

"In search of information we were referred to your book. I have just read it and I must say. Is there anything you haven't seen or done in Mexico?"
