Summary

"The pre-Hispanic architecture of the Yucatan Peninsula is among the most remarkable in the world, and this book should be in the hands of everyone who intends to visit Mayan ruins. ... Kelly personally visited nearly every one of the 99 sites and museums described in the guide. She knows what a tourist wants to know. ... One doesn't have to be planning a trip to enjoy it. It should be in all libraries". -- Library Journal.
