Title: Self-indulgent ramblings
Review: Nicely packaged and attractive speaks well for the publisher, but this book could have used a good editor. Author has written a very self-indulgent, rambling book filled with trivia, but often losing sight of the Mexican Revolution and Pancho Villa. More disappointing, most of the photos in the book have been published numerous times, which is surprising since the author claims to have examined photo archives all over the US! In fact, 70% of the photos in this book come from El Paso/Las Cruces sources--and some of them have nothing to do with the revolution--they were just interesting for the author, so he included them! I'm surprised the book was published in this form and written this way, but it will not sell well outside its target audience in El Paso.
