NEW BOOK: The Old Missions of Baja & Alta California.
If you have been following the thread in the Nomad Historic Interests and Literature forum, you know that Max, Erline and I have been working on a new
book that will provide the basic details and some background history on the California Missions.
All 48 of California's missions are included, from the first mission at Loreto in 1697, then those throughout the peninsula of
California (now known as Baja California), and then the Franciscan missions (mostly in Alta California) and Dominican missions of northern Baja
California, to the last California mission founded in 1834, at Guadalupe. Missions Guadalupe and Solano were both founded after Mexico won its
independence from Spain, so they are 'Mexican missions', rather than 'Spanish missions'.
Each of the missions are an important part of California's history (Baja & Alta). Since that was the case, we treat each mission with equal
importance and they are listed in chronological order, and numbered 1-48. Missions are easy to look up being listed in the book's contents, index and
they are on three maps, for better location detail (Baja California Sur, Baja California, and Alta California).
The book is glove box friendly at 8.5" x 5.5", so it is easy to have at your service as you travel to the 46 missions reachable by automobile (if you
have one able to get to Santa Maria, otherwise 45)! Only two missions have no automobile access... so the book is also backpack friendly!
Approx. 145 pages with approx. 160 photos and maps:
The price of the book is $19.95 + tax (shipping included)... (U.S. and Canada).
Pay Pal is set up, http://oldmissions.com/
or you can send a check for $21.70/copy to:
M & E BOOKS
P.O. BOX 20121
EL CAJON, CA 92021
If you have questions, please email them to us at oldmissions*at*gmail.com (replace the *at* with @ )
Christmas is coming up!
Thank you very much, and I hope you find the book useful and informative as you travel through any or all of the three states that now are part of
Spanish California!
Max, Erline, David
NEW BACK COVER:
EDIT:
Announcing a SPECIAL NEW DEAL... Until further notice, ALL U.S. and CANADA orders will have NO SHIPPING CHARGE ADDED! That is a $6 discount! PayPal
has been edited and I asked our web host to edit the price given for those who prefer to mail in a check to our P.O. box.
The price of the Book is $19.95, plus tax= $21.75

Any chance of getting it signed by the authors?
I'll be requesting mine once PayPal is up and running.

I am happy to sign all the books purchased by my Nomad amigos... I will just need to get to El Cajon (1 hour from here) before Max mails them out to
do so! Thank you for your early orders! Max, a reviewer doing copy-edit (a Nomad), and I have been working on it again this morning, refining the
layout and trying to catch any typos...
add: If you purchased a book and then come to one of the Power Point shows, bring it with you to get Max and I to sign them. Otherwise, get the books
at one of the shows and we will sign them at that time. I only wish I had a British accent, as I always thought that gave Graham and edge when he does
his shows!

Well to have PayPal one needs a website so my webhost is making us one so you can do PayPal. In the meantime mail a check to the P.O. box if you
want. Thank you.

Okay, we now have a website!
http://oldmissions.com/ or http://www.oldmissions.com
Just up the past hour, under construction but will have a PayPal link there and perhaps have updates for this book and future books... Max has already
planned to update his popular 'California's El Camino Real and its Historic Bells' that was published by Sunbelt several years ago.
In the updated version, we will include all of the California El Camino Real that begins in Loreto and perhaps include mission roads south as well as
north from Loreto!
Anyway, first we need to finish and sell the new missions book so we can do more books!
Thank you for your interest!
