BEST BOOK ON SAN MIGUEL

THIS BOOK COVERS EVERYTHING FROM SOUP TO NUTS ON SAN MIGUEL. LIKE THE OTHER REVIEWS ABOVE , THIS BOOK IS WHAT EVERYONE NEEDS FOR THEIR TRIP. I'VE NEVER FOUND A BETTER BOOK OR REVIEW ON SAN MIGUEL. I KNOW THIS BOOK IS OUT OF PRINT, AND REFERS TO SEVERAL THINGS DATING TO 2001, IT IS STILL RELATIVE IN 2008. HAVING JUST BEEN THERE I FOUND THIS BOOK INVALUABLE. GET A COPY WHILE YOU STILL CAN IT WILL REALLY ENHANCE YOUR TRIP, FROM WHICH BANK NOT TO GO TO (TO MANY COMPLAINTS OF OVER- CHARGING) TO BEST RESTAURANTS (CHAMOMIX IS A LOVELY HIDDEN JEM), BARS(YOU HAVE TO GO TO HARRY'S), WINE SHOPS, CHURCHES WITH ENGLISH SERVICE. SERRO BLANCO JEWELRY(IN THE STATES IT'S CARRIED AT BLOOMINGDALES, BARNEYS, GET THE BETTER PRICE HERE). I'M TELLING YOU THIS IS THE ONE!

DON'T LEAVE HOME WITHOUT IT !

This is without a doubt one of the finest, most thorough and reliable city guides we've ever had the pleasure of using. And, believe me, we've relied upon quite a few. Some of them made us wonder if the writer had ever eaten in the restaurant he recommended, others were adequate, and many quite good. The Insider's Guide To San Miguel is tops! Archie Dean, a resident of San Miguel, knows his city like the palm of his hand, the sights, sounds, comfortable lodgings, and where to find the most fabulous food. It's guide for those staying a few days, a few weeks or a few months as it covers every requirement from apartments to doctors to supermarkets to galleries to Spanish schools. Thoughtfully arranged so your need or interest is easy to find, each listing is succinctly and clearly described. Also included is a can't-get-around- San Miguel- without-it map that is indispensable. Plus sections are devoted to nearby Dolores Hidalgo and Guanajuato. We heartily recommend a visit to San Miguel as it is a charming community filled with beautiful architecture and friendly people. But, don't go without The Insider's Guide! - Gail Cooke

A Great Guide

I spent a month in SMA in 2004 and used this guidebook all the time. It's full of information on everything you need to know about all the sites you want to see, as well as all the everyday tips you need if you are going to be staying in town for more than a few days.

The BEST guide for San Miguel

This is a terrific little guide. I was in San Miguel for a week and used it every day. One day, just before noon, I was sitting on a wall by a church, looking for a place for lunch and Archie Dean came by. He gave me a personal recommendation and the lunch was great. Later I needed a large carton to ship my purchases home and bu using this book found a small shop selling just what I needed. You can rely on all the stores and vendors recommended by Dean.

the Insiders Guide to San Miguel

Well written, well organized and several people I know who live in Sam Miguel think it is the best of the guides. So far I agree.
