I really like this series and the Guatemala title is an excellent addition. I am a junior-high teacher and am always scrambling for reliable books on Latin American countries and their histories. There just aren't enough out there!

I'm very careful about the books I buy for my 6th grade classroom, since the money comes from a fund donated by parents and grandparents of my current and former students. I chose this book because it was recommended by the Barahona Center for Studies of Books in Spanish. Although the book is in English, I think it was a very good investment. The publisher could improve the pictures but the text of this updated edition is clear, well-written, and very carefully documented.

Ordered this "picture" book for a friend from Guatelmala. It was nearly $30 and I was very unhappy upon receipt. The book does have a lot of small pictures, but few that actually capture the beauty of Guatemala. The book has more writing than pictures, despite the title "Guatemala in Pictures". The book is the size of some children's books and at this cost, I would save the money. It is being returned to Amazon the same day received.
