Title: Great place to start
Review: I just received this book a couple of days ago, so this is an early review. This "dictionary" is more like an encylcopedia and is an excellent and unique primer on Mesoamerican deities and symbology. I am not aware of any other similarly accessible books available for a popular or non-academic market. Overall, this is a very good book and a useful tool for beginning your research into Mesoamerican religion. I give it four stars instead of five because I would have liked the book to be stratified by culture area (e.g. a Central Mexico section, a Maya Section, etc.). As it stands now, deities, symbols, and concepts fom across Mesoamerica are simply organized alphabetically.
Is the review positive or negative?
