5.0 out of 5 stars Best Available Guide to Ruins of North Central America, February 15, 2000

This review is from: An Archaeological Guide to Northern Central America: Belize, Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador (Paperback)

This book, while somewhat outdated, provides accurate and detailed information about the ruins in Guatemala in particular. The guides I traveled with all wanted to purchase it to enhance their information. The descriptions help you make decisions about where to go and having it with you enhances viewing. Places are generally easier to get to now.

4.0 out of 5 stars Useful and interesting guide to many Southern maya sites, August 23, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: An Archaeological Guide to Northern Central America: Belize, Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador (Paperback)

Like her other book on the Yucatan, this one focuses on many smaller sites. I was surprised that it didn't mention El Puente as a site, however, and it was written before the Copan Museum opened, which is too bad. Unfortunately it is already sadly outdated. I hope she does another book soon.
