BAJA BOOKS: What they look like (more books added and book details added) 2-3-16
I began collecting Baja books since I was 10 years old... I remember asking my mom to buy me Erle Stanley Gardner's 'Off the Beaten Track in Baja'
(1967) when it was new at the book store. Already had Gerhard & Gulick's 'Lower California Guidebook' and Ray Cannon's 'Sea of Cortez' (both
autographed, too). My parents and I went to Gardner's ranch in Temecula and had just missed meeting him (Jean said he was in Baja).
Anytime I saw a used book store in my travels, I would pop in and found many Baja books that way.
As I got more interested in the history, beyond what the guidebooks offered, I started buying more books... hard to find, off the rare book sites on
the Internet.
Then I started to get second (or spare) copies of these great books. People cleaning out their garages heard I am a Baja book nut, too. Better to find
a good home where they can be loved for more years than trashed!
Here are just some books, the covers (a couple books are opened)... these date from 1888 to 2009...
I will come back and add captions giving the name, author, date, and pages.
I just want to see how this looks on Nomad, first.
If anyone has questions on how you can build up a Baja Book library, send me a u2u or email to info*@*vivabaja.com with "Baja Books" in the subject
line.

The Camino Real and the Missions of the Baja California Peninsula by Miguel León-Portilla, Ed Vernon, Harry Crosby and others. c2008
(English/Spanish) (a giant folding map displaying the missions and Camino Real routes in Baja on one side, and text on the other) A- (cover corner
damaged)
Historical Notes on Baja California by Tomás Robertson c1972 (30 pages + map) B (small stain on cover)
Some of these are brand new, uncirculated... and three are plastic wrapped... including the 1953 classic 'Baja California' that is filled with photos
of travel the length of the peninsula in 1952 by Willys-Jeep camper. Some are well-worn with a few pages falling out or bad covers or some water
staining... but most are great, I was fortunate to have these in my library.
Note: I will also include a copy of The Old Missions and a Copy of In the Shadow of the Volcano if I offer the entire library for sale.
There are sure a whole lot more Baja books out there and right here, but what you see above are extras and I must consider finding them a new home
with proceeds to pay for the publishing cost of my new book on the Baja missions history. If and when I do part with these, I will put an ad on Baja
Nomad in the Misc. Classified Ads forum.
So far, of these books pictured above, only two are in real bad shape with loose pages and damaged binding/spine. I have not trashed them because they
are rare or valuable for the content that is still mostly or entirely usable: Mother of California (1908) and Missions and Missionaries (1929). Some
of the Dawson Travelers Series must have gotten wet so their pages are warped (labeled condition D) but not discolored, so no problem reading. Others
of the set look brand new.
I just added a small book I found hidden between others, above.

Thanks for sharing David, fun looking at all the covers, many of which I have had in the past. Graham's books are some of my favorites, always more
fun when you have met the author.

Great post! I just reread "Camping and Climbing in Baja" this week. It's amazing the amount of work that went into researching some of these books.
The nice thing is that many of them, though out of print, are still available on Amazon books and the extended circuit at the library.

The man who was La Siesta was Walt Wheelock. He worked for the city of Glendale alongside Howard Gulick (Lower California Guidebook author/ mapmaker).
Walt was a Sierra Nevada guy and Howard got him to check out Baja... Look at how that changed Walt! I met Walt in Baja back in 1984 and we
communicated for a while about maps and books. I think Neal Johns told me he was part of their Desert Explorers group?

Terrible work, yes. The names are wrong, the photos or their captions are wrong... I spoke with Harry Crosby and Ed Vernon... neither were at all
happy at the hack job on what could have been a fun folding map. Even the Camino Real is not well located. It is actually quite typical of what can
come from down there... too bad.

So, now that these 78 books have been displayed, I will next photograph the other books in my Baja library and show them here. While I do not have all
the Baja books ever published (Rockman does, I think... and Neal Johns is close at having the best collections I know of, outside of mine), I am
happy with what I have accomplished and many Nomads are to thank for their kindness in helping me find rare Baja books!
I have my Baja books grouped by subject:
Baja Travel Story Books
Baja Guidebooks
Baja History Books
Baja Photo Books

Erle Stanley Gardner Books
The guy who was famous for mystery novels and the character Perry Mason...
Not all of them, but most of his Baja books, and the one of his Desert books (has a Baja trip photo or two in it). He also wrote a Hunting Lost Mines
by Helicopter and his final Mexico adventure book, Host with a Big Hat... a little Baja in it, but mostly the mainland. He did a book about the boat
people of the Sacramento River Delta after his Baja and Mexico books... just before passing away, in 1970, I think?
Land of Shorter Shadows c1948
Hunting the Desert Whale c1960
Hovering Over Baja c1961
The Hidden Heart of Baja c1962
The Desert is Yours c1963 (a gift from Matt and Barb, thank you guys!)
