5.0 out of 5 stars Solid - current (12/99), December 6, 1999

By	David McLaughlin (Ajijic, Jalisco, Mexico) - See all my reviews

I find this book to be well written and a good basic overview (with neccessary details) for anyone considering part-time or full-time living in this facinating country.

I have been living and working in México for 5 years and believe that this book would have been invaluable for us when we were first considering and then making the transition.

By	Ron Mader "Planeta.com Founder" (Mexico) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

(From Planeta.com Journal) - Entertaining and useful guide to relocating or retiring in Mexico. Gringo havens such as Lake Chapala, Puerto Vallarta, San Miguel de Allende, Cuernavaca and Mazatlan are featured in depth. The author combines practical information with entertaining ancedotes. The result is a lively primer on living abroad.

4.0 out of 5 stars Thoroughly Researched. Excellent information., June 26, 2001

By A Customer

Ken Luboff has done a 1st class job in laying out the realities of moving to Mexico. He is without bias, is realistic and clearly thoroughly understands Mexico and her people. Anyone contemplating moving to Mexico, or just trying it out, should read this book. It is expansive, sensible as well as fun. My advice is: don't go to Mexico without this book in your suitcase. From Mexico's tulmultuos history to dealing with the locals, shopping, health and eating out, Luboff has covered it all. I recommend this book even for people going to Mexico for a vacation. For those moving there, or thinking about it, this book is a must. A book that is invaluable in any reference list, and a book that is a great deal of fun to read.
