Off to Mexico,: By Leone and Alice-Leone Moats;

Inscribed and signed by author to Ethel R. Payne. Notes written to the Paynes are written on the half title page as they embark on their trip to Mexico. Alice-Leone Moats was a foreign correspondent for Collier's magazine in Japan, China and the Soviet Union, among other countries, before becoming a columnist for The Philadelphia Inquirer. There is a newspaper clipping with her picture about her being in an airplane crash from Russia to Iran(from Pittsburg Press, Sunday, February 21, 1943, p 51). She grew up in Mexico in a wealthy family and was an only child. Purple cloth cover is water stained and sunfaded on the spine. Inside pages yellowing but are clean with small stains and pencil marks. Each chapter is divided with a colored map for that area.This book is divided into ten chapters, each dealing with a different section of the country, and we have taken in all the worthwhile places. Some of the trips include very unusual sights which even old residents have never seen and they are all interesting. A map accompanies each chapter with every church, monastery, pyramid or statue that should be visited indicated upon it, and the routes are so well marked (1930's time frame).
