Thorough Coverage of the Topic

The editors list 300 Spanish- and English-language publications, from professional journals and newsletters to fashion magazines and fotonovelas. Also included is information about price, circulation, frequency, and subscription services, as well as a description and review of a recent issue. An appendix lists vendors and distributors.
