I already had 3-4 books on Baja, including Lonely Planets, but Jack and Patti's book is the most thorough, well laid out book I've ever seen on an area.

from Avalon Travel Publishing

Customer Review:
I've traveled throughout Baja the last 2 years and found the book is very out of date. Many of the campgrounds mentioned have closed and some of the sites are no longer suitable for camping, for others, the nature/quality of site has changed. This can be a big problem if you've traveled to some...

Cooking With Baja Magic: Mouth-Watering Meals from the Enchanted Kitchens  Campfires of Baja Cooking With Baja Magic: Mouth-Watering Meals from the Enchanted Kitchens & Campfires of Baja
from Renegade Enterprises

Customer Review:
I was so disappointed in this book, especially after reading the reviews of others. Perhaps the author wrote the book for people who have no access to ingredients typically used in Mexican cookery, which 10 years ago might have been somewhat an excuse, but today, authentic Mexican ingredients are...

from W.W. Norton & Company

Customer Review:
Travel books about daring trips to places filled with hardships erupt like volcanic ash from the "featured on sale" sections of bookstores. Authors fill the shelves, as they have for a dozen decades, with endless sagas of how they climbed-a-mountain-and-everybody-died, why they...

Cruising Guide to the Sea of Cortez: From LA Paz to Mulege Cruising Guide to the Sea of Cortez: From LA Paz to Mulege
from Cruising Guide Pubns

Customer Review:
The book is really only a cursory treatment of a small section of the Baja side of the Sea of Cortez. It implies, incorrectly, that there is no cruising area north of Mulege, and does not mention the mainland side at all. Although it doesn't say so, it is clearly designed as a basic guide for people...
