Textile Fiestas of Mexico

Excellent up-to-date resource for anyone with interest in indigenous textiles of Mexico.Beautiful photos; offers recommendations for lodging and restaurants as well.

Great book with loads of information. The only thing missing for me were cut lines for the photos. I will definitely use this when I go to Mexico again.

This is a wonderful book! It looks like a picture book - lovely, lovely photos of people and textiles in the places discussed in the book, but that's deceptive. It's full of useful information for the traveler who wants to visit the places described (hotels, restaurants, artisans) as well as interesting and helpful information about the textiles available in each of the places. It's different than many travel books because of the passion and personalities of the writers reflected in each discussion. I particularly appreciated the "Guide to Ethical Shopping," a thoughtful reminder of the long-term consequences of excessive bargaining. It makes me want to pack my bag!

This book is a good intro, but should be a lot more in-depth. It needs an update of artisans coordinates.

I am a longtime collector of tribal textiles who travels extensively to collect. I am always looking for good information about shops, traditions, etc. this book has it all.I will be back in Mexico next year and will modify the itinerary I had in mind because of places I read about in this book.HIGHLY recommended!
