CACAXTLA, CACAXTLA: Proyecto de
investigacion y conservacion. Gobierno del Estado de Tlaxcala, 1990.
With articles by several archaeologists, Sergio de la V. Vergara Berdejo,
Ramon Sanchez Flores, etc. The value of this book for archaeology, iconography,
and art history is in the accurate line drawings, especially of the God
L as merchant, Frog-Toad, Maize God, and Jaguar-Turtle, murals; 98 pages,
photos (color and B+W). These particular mural segments are in no other
book on Cacaxtla, and are not in the National Geographic article on Cacaxtla
either. We have never seen this book offered elsewhere; it is virtually
impossible to find even in the city of Tlaxcala, and was sold- out at Cacaxtla
itself about three years ago. 98 p. Hence its value, $150. No. 6060
