5.0 out of 5 stars Useful advice, April 13, 2002
By A Customer
I liked the author's honest assessment of living in Mexico. It helped me to understand that relocating would be different than my frequent (and great) Mexico vacations. I especially appreciated the descriptions of individual regions and cities that the author believes offer the best lifestyle options for a new resident. This was a very thoughtful book and I know I'll make a better informed decision about moving because of the information provided.

1.0 out of 5 stars Rehash without notice = ripoff, August 5, 2004
Can Mr. Luboff, Avalon Travel books, or Amazon spell E-T-H-I-C-S ?
My wife and I are determined to move to Mexico. We have been reading several books about the process of making this transition and eagerly awaited Mr. Luboff's book. Having purchased (and enjoyed) his 1999 book, Live Well in Mexico, we figured, the 2002 Adapter Kit, would have more detail, and provide further assistance in our move. THE TWO BOOKS ARE ONE AND THE SAME!! Chapters were simply moved around, and 2 renamed.I don't have a problem with Mr. Luboff reworking his earlier book, but wouldn't it be ethical to state somewhere (on the cover, in the intro, OR in Amazon's write-up)that fact? I am disappointed. I have to assume Mr. Luboff has nothing further to say and forgot he had already published one book on the subject.

1.0 out of 5 stars This book is really 'Living Well in Mexico,' 1999., January 3, 2005
By D. Keller (Sacramento, CA, USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book (first published by Muir in 1999 as Living Well in Mexico) was merely OK the first time around, but this version is literally the very same thing, just three years older (it is true that several miniscule changes have been made, for example using "50" instead of "fifty"). Although I read another review saying this was the same book, I must admit I assumed it couldn't be true and ordered it anyway--a mistake! I'm sending it back even though it pains me to pay the postage.
