New Travelogue and Historical Study: Search for the Camino Real, Published by Outskirts Press
Ogallala, NE, January 22, 2011 --(PR.com)-- Outskirts Press, Inc. has published Search for the Camino Real: A History of San Blas and the Road to Get There by Robert Richter. The author's most recent book to date is a 7 x 10 paperback in the Latin American and Mexican history category and is available worldwide on book retailer websites such as Amazon and Barnes & Noble. The webpage at www.outskirtspress.com/searchforthecaminoreal was launched simultaneously with the book's publication.
Both historical investigation and travelogue, this documented study of the end of the Camino Real and San Blas, Mexico, is woven into the author’s personal account of the search for remnants of Mexico’s colonial road in the lowlands and sierras of modern Nayarit. Richter was aided and accompanied in his excursions by various regional historians, local guides, and curious companions.
Like an old road running through the contemporary landscape, the historical narrative merges into the story of the region’s modern character and development. To explore Nayarit’s wild and gorgeous geography while trying to site the ancient Camino Real is to stumble over another road running toward the state’s future economic development as part of the Mexican Riviera.
Nearly five hundred years after the Spanish conquest of Mexico, the history of San Blas and the road to get there is still being written. This is a contemporary narrative portrait.
196 pages in length, Search for the Camino Real: A History of San Blas and the Road to Get There is being aggressively promoted to appropriate markets with a focus on the Latin American and Mexican history category. With U.S. wholesale distribution through Ingram and Baker & Taylor, and pervasive online availability through Amazon, Barnes & Noble and elsewhere, Search for the Camino Real meets consumer demand through both retail and library markets with a suggested retail price of $15.95.
Additionally, Search for the Camino Real can be ordered by retailers or wholesalers for the maximum trade discount price set by the author in quantities of ten or more from the Outskirts Press Direct bookstore at www.outskirtspress.com/bookstore.
