First of all, a caveat. When I first wrote Live Better South of the Border the only other popular book about living in Mexico was John Howell's Choose Mexico. I knew John and we simply had different views of the subject and were not in competition. Today, there are literally dozens of books on living in Mexico. I want to emphasize that I am not in competition with anyone. Everyone has a right to express his life view in print. I humbly suggest that I do not know everything and that my way is not the only way.
I wrote that because I saw one expat's web site where the author essentially said that his book was the only one that gave you the true picture. I have to admit that I once thought the same way about myself. With age, I have mellowed. All I will say about the other books on living in Mexico is that not everyone who writes is a writer and not everyone who lives in one place in Mexico necessarily knows about other places or the culture. I do believe I give you the big picture. And I do have a real book, not just an e-book and a real publisher. So read all web sites promoting living in Mexico books, including mine, with an eye to whether the author speaks to you, as a friend. Those books are the ones that will guide you to do the right thing for yourself. And you know what? It would not hurt to buy two or three books. After all, moving to Mexico is a big decision.
Go to my store if you would a signed copy of Live Better South of the Border or any of my Spas and Hot Springs of Mexico. Amazon is a few dollars cheaper, but they aren't signed and it helps me out. As an author, I make a buck a book from my publisher and about 50 cents for an Amazon sale. The newest (2005) edition of Live Better South of the Border is still relevant. Prices change, but the priceless advice about how to choose a place to live in Mexico, or to decide if you should even go, is what this book on living in Mexico is all about. You know moving to Mexico is not just about money or warm weather. It is about adapting to a new culture. That's the type of advice that does not go out of date.
Prices of course, have changed since the book was written, but the relative comparison of cost of living remains valid. Price ranges for living in towns have been added. New sections on working and doing business have been added. A cost of living chart has been added. New towns have been added like Cozumel, Merida, Ixtapa/Zihuatenejo. A much larger section of Baja has been added. Maps have also been added. The neatest feature is a cost of living comparison for all parts of Mexico. The actual prices are, of course, way off, but the percentage comparisons remain the same. It tells you how much more living in San Miguel de Allende costs versus Guanajuato or Lake Chapala and so on.
