Carmen Laforet
Espasa Calpe Mexicana, S.A., 2006
A very good read.
This is an excellent novel. From the very beginning Carmen Laforet manages to create a very interesting and convincing atmosphere, the characters are full and the plot does not stagnate. I have read it several times and always enjoyed it.

Mesa Mexicana7 reviews
Mary S. Milliken
William Morrow Cookbooks, 1994
Excellent for the hobbyist chef, but not everyday
Mary Sue Miliken and Susan Feniger are two of the top chefs in LA. Their "Border Grill" in Santa Monica (4th and Broadway) is a noisy, splashy, foodie haven with superb drinks, a decent wine/beer list, and amazing food. Mesa Mexicana offers recipes that one might easily see on Border Grill's menu. For those of us who grew up equating Mexican food with Tex-Mex, Miliken and Feniger's inventive take ...

South of the Color Barrier: How Jorge Pasquel and the Mexican League Pushed Baseball Toward Racial Integration7 reviews
John Virtue
McFarland, 2007
¡jonron!
Mr. Virtue's book is well-researched and well-documented look at the early days of the Mexican League. There is a lot of historical data that I've never seen before, as well as interviews or quotes from players who played in the league, especially during its classic 1937-1946 period.

Fernando De Rojas
Espasa Calpe Mexicana, S.A., 1995
Una joya de la literatura europea.
Ante todo resulta incómodo ver valoradas con estrellitas (de 1 a 5) las obras maestras de la literatura universal. La Celestina forma parte de esa veintena de obras maestras que forman lo más destacado de la literatura en cualquier idioma y de cualquier época. Sin lugar a dudas, la más fascinante, moderna, entretenida y asequible de su época. Una auténtica novela (dialogada) moderna. Entre sus ...

Jim Heimann
Taschen, 2002
South of the border, in color.
This all-color paperback shows a fascinating glimpse of Mexico using everyday printed ephemera. Considering the huge nation to the north of the country I found it intriguing that this material has its own distinctive national look and owes nothing to the graphic styles of the US. Apart from the three pages of introduction (in English, German and French) at the start of the book there is no ...

Browntrout Pubs (Cal), 2006
Beautiful Photos
This is my favorite calendar ever. I've been buying it every year since I first saw it in 2004 and save the old ones to plan my future Mexican kitchen. They do not recycle photos so you're not getting the same ones with different dates. Each year features 12 more gorgeous kitchens.

Requiem Por Un Campesino Espanol (Spanish Edition)3 reviews
Ramon Jose Sender
Espasa Calpe Mexicana, S.A., 2006
The best literary account of the effect of the Civil War
Ramon Sender fuses symbolism and realism in this account of the effect of the Spanish Civil War on a small Aragonese population. He reclaims the image of Christ crucified for the Republican side. This image had been used by Nationalists to symbolise the fate of Spain. It is here won forever for Republican historians as a metaphor for the suffering of ordinary Spanish people. Easy to read in ...

Uno de los libros mas poderosos en la historia del mundo. Se trata de una granja donde los animales se revelan contra el granjero.

Eduardo Mendoza
Espasa Calpe Mexicana, S.A., 2006
A real literature book
This is really amazing. It describes the history of a 'clever' guy in Barcelona at the end of the last century. It is very entertaiment and once you begin, you can not stop. DO NOT USE IT AS TABLE NIGHT BOOK. If you do so, you will not sleep for the entire night, because you will be reading it. In my opinion these book is not so good as 'Sin noticias de Gurb' but the quality of the vocabulary, ...
