Tomado de Kirkus Review: "A travel book rather than a guide book, but with so little available on Guatemala, a growing "mecca" of travellers, this should fill a real need. A definitely interesting account of the country, coast and hill towns, of the people, arts, industries, historical background, as seen by a visitor who lived in hotels, pensions, private homes, and covered as much ground as limited travel facilities permitted. Economic and social aspects cursorily handled."
