Informative easy-to-read visual history of Lake Chapala, one of the world's premier retirement destinations.
Fully illustrated by more than 150 vintage postcards, many in full color. Some cards are intrinsically interesting, all are wonderfully evocative of the past. Includes maps, reference notes, bibliography and index.
This book will appeal to readers:
- curious about the fascinating history of Mexico's earliest tourist destination
- thinking of retiring to the Lake Chapala area (Ajijic, Chapala, Jocotepec, Ocotlán)
- interested in early twentieth century vintage postcards
The author, an avid postcard collector, has dedicated decades to writing original books bringing Lake Chapala's forgotten history back to life.
