Nothing but hear-say or have any nomads seen it?

Not only have I 'seen it', but I now own a copy... purchased at Discover Baja Travel Club... also available from Sunbelt Pub.
Nice to see a newspaper story about something 'real'!

Good review, not overhyped.

Here is the link to when the book was first announced on Nomad: http://forums.bajanomad.com/viewthread.php?tid=35662
I show the book from Sunbelt's flyer... It is basically a big, fold out map with approx. ECR location on a satellite map, 6 feet long... and about 6
big pages of text.
I did check the details and found several conflicting errors between the several authors... One of these is about Mision Dolores (del Sur) which has
ruins at 2 locations (Apate, near the coast and Chilla/ La Pasion, several miles inland). The newer site is refered to as Dolores del Norte several
times (not!)... A mission of Santa Maria Magdalena is mentioned by one author, and that was not a mission... They do use the 1757 Jesuit map for the
book cover, and that is nice.
I hate to say anything negative, but facts are facts... or what we know to be facts so far! The book was so new, that Harry Crosby surely didn't have
a chance to check it himself first... otherwise, I doubt he would even put his name to it as he is far more fact conscious than I!!!

Glad to see DK's expert review and shameless plug "he saw it first"

norte, do have anything useful to post here that others might get some help or benefit from, or is being a burro all you know?
