People of Peyote: personal review
I have lived and worked among the Huichol Indians of Mexico for the past 14 years of my life. I find this book to give accurate, in depth information on the people and their culture. It is extremely well researched. I rate it among the best on this subject. Both Stacey and Peter are very knowledgeable sources on this subject.

A bit disappointing
The Huichol art is so colorful that I was disappointed to find this book to be in black and white, and more like a textbook. I bought it for my Mom after having traveled to Mexico together. I actually returned it. I found some children's books that had beautiful illustrations in the yarn painting style.

A beautiful book,

Be sure to purchase the hardback edition. This is the complete volume works of the Huichol People of western coastal Mexico, written by two of the foremost authorities of Huichol customs outside of Huichol society. Many of Castaneda's fiction stories come from Huichol culture and religion, and most probably Don Juan was based on a Huichol indian, so the story goes. But don't let Carlos's bad anthropology sway your idea. If you are interested in Mesoamerican culture I am sure you will be pleased with this outstanding work of ethnology.
