Translated by VÃctor Reyes.
Illustrated by
Susan L. Roth.
Laufer tells the story of Paracho, a small village of guitar makers in the mountains of Michoacán. Showing many faces of Mexico ("There's more than mariachi music in Mexico"), Roth's astonishing collages--wood shavings, pictures, cloth, and paper--bring a wide variety of textures and colors to this superbly designed book. The text is written in clear prose and well translated into Spanish. Also available in English.
