READERS' COMMENTS

Smiling face from the Xalapa Museum of Anthropology

"We had mixed feelings about our time in Oaxaca until we found your book. It's given us a different feeling for the place." D & J, Madison Wisconsin

"I received my copy of Viva Oaxaca today and am reading it intently. What a great guide! I can't wait to be in Oaxaca." S.R., Fremont, CA

"What a valuable book. Am elated I ordered it--full of information." S.C., Tallahassee, Florida

"Your book was a treasure, recommended to me by a fellow traveler, and I recommended it to others during my stay. It's the sharing of restaurants, language schools, bookstores, museums, and more that makes your book so valuable."  J.A.L., New York, NY

"I just got back yesterday from a lovely first trip to Oaxaca.  I was extremely impressed with your book, and both of my traveling companions gave you kudos for your accurate suggestions, particularly with the food!  While the Moon book was very useful to have for many reasons, we returned time and again to Viva Oaxaca to get additional information that wasn't found elsewhere or to substantiate some information that we had received from another source.  In addition, your guide book provided access to very useful updates, something that the other travel books don't offer. Thank you very much for enhancing my experience to Oaxaca tenfold."  T.T., San Jose, CA.

"I love your book.  It will make our second visit much easier than our first." S.B.

"For a first-time visitor to Oaxaca, Viva Oaxaca is all you need. It answered every question that I had, and helped me to get more out of my visit again and again. Thanks so much!"  M.K., Minneapolis, MN

"I have just received the 2008-2009 edition of Viva Oaxaca which I recently ordered from you. Thank you very much for all of the wonderful information." J.T., CA

"I discovered your wonderful guidebook (in Carpe Diem Cafe) the day I was leaving Oaxaca. What a shame I didn't have it at the beginning of the week instead of the end! I bought it anyway because I plan to return in the not too distant future. It is obviously a labor of love about a place you love." S.F., Woodacre, CA

"It's very quick and handy. It has all you need to know, and it fits in your pocket. It's like having a conversation with somebody who knows the place very well."  N.F., Boston, MA

"Every time I read it, I find something new." C.F., Framingham, MA

"Your book has so much useful information. I should have read it before I came to Oaxaca." R.G., Roosevelt, NJ

"Thanks so much for your wonderful book. It's great for newcomers, but also for repeat visitors. It gets beneath the surface. I really like the fact that you warned us about the 'disappointments'." M.L., Sacramento, CA

"If I were coming to Oaxaca for a week or two, this is definitely the book I'd want to have." V.K., St. Paul, Minnesota

"I purchased your Oaxaca Guidebook “Viva Oaxaca” and enjoyed it tremendously.  Although I have been to Oaxaca numerous times in the past your guidebook still provided valuable insights on the surroundings."  D.M.

"Robert Adler and Jo Ann Wexler have produced a useful, concise guide to
one of the most interesting cities in the world.  Well written, in a
style that engages the reader, "Viva Oaxaca" is a well-organized,
well-thought out introduction to the attractions and delights of a
remarkable city.  Not only do the authors cover the things that
immediately come to mind--the restaurants, the special events, the
places to shop--they also address important matters that may come as an
afterthought such as how to handle laundry, where to get a haircut, and
medical matters.  I encountered the book on my third visit to Oaxaca,
when I was no longer a complete newcomer, and found it both accurate and
reliable and a welcome addition to my store of knowledge.    Extensive
enough to be useful and small enough to be easily carried, "Viva Oaxaca"
is a valuable tool for any visitor to this city." A.V.
