The Mex Files

I´m still posting regularly, but will be leaving this “sticky post” at the top for at least the next week or two.

It only took seven years (though with significant breaks for other things), but Gods, Gachupines and Gringos: A People’s History of Mexico has finally gone to press. The limited run “Advance Review Copies” went out to those reviewers who requested copies this week.  The publisher is waiting on what are hoped to be glowing ¨blubs¨for the back cover … and with the financial situation as it is, the peso price needs to be determined.  There is every hope — but no absolute guarantees — to have the book in buyers hands in time for Christmas.

If you order Gods, Gachupines and Gringos: A People’s History of Mexico at the U.S. cover price ($24.95) pre-print, the publisher will absorb the shipping costs (U.S., Canada and Mexico). And, of course I earn a much larger percentage of the profits from direct sales than I do through Amazon or your local bookstore.

Pre-print orders are best made through paypal: mazbook@prodigy.net.mx .

If you want to pay be credit card or check, it’s possible, but we have only a virtual office in the U.S. and the checks will have to be forwarded to Mexico. If you need to do this, send an e-mail to the publisher (publisher@editorialmazatlan.com or mazbook@yahoo.com) for details. I can take paypal payments through my own account (richmx2@live.com) but it complicates the accounting process – and complicates my life … and my income tax filings in the U.S. and Mexico.
