The Association for Mexican Cave Studies has finally managed to get a
small number of copies of both the Spanish (2008) and English (2009)
editions of Carlos Lazcano's book "Privilegios de la Luz: Maravillas
Subterráneas de México"/"The Privilege of Light: Mexico's Underground
Wonders." The book was published by Grupos Cementos de Chihuahua
primarily for distribution to its customers. It is a large-format (9
by 12.5 inches, 176 pages, hardbound with dustjacket) book of very
nice color photographs, mainly full-page, with limited text. Actually,
the Spanish edition has one advantage, because some inadequately
supervised translator made the photo captions in the English edition
into things like "basement of the Three Quimeras" for Sótano de Tres
Quimeras, Puebla.
The AMCS price is $50 by hand or $55 postpaid. It is not being put
into our catalog because so few copies are available. They are offered
first here to the TexasCavers list, and a wider announcement will be
made in about a week. Info on how to order a copy for mailing is at http://www.amcs-pubs.org/finance/order.html
, but before sending money e-mail [email protected] to ask to
reserve your copy. Or you can e-mail [email protected] to reserve a
copy for delivery at UT Grotto meeting, TSA spring convention, or this
summer's NSS convention. Specify which language you want and whether
the other may be substituted if your first choice is exhausted.
(Copies will be at the UT Grotto meeting January 19.)
