Spanish Vignettes

I am a professor of geography and lived in Spain for seven years and am the

author of a best-selling English language guide to the country and its

culture, geography, traditions, literature, history, music, religious life,

regional distinctiveness, sports, language, social and political issues,

food and drink with a chapter on wines and cheeses. This book is the only

one REQUIRED by the University of California's summer program in Spanish

Civilization (Spanish 45) in Madrid. It was published by Santana, the

largest publisher of English language books in Spain and went through two

editions. Due to the bankruptcy of the distributor in the United States, I

acquired possession of the remaining stock in the United States of close to

100 copies. I believe that such a book, if offered for sale by you would be

a stimulus for tourist visits, an appreciation of Spanish culture. The book

is beautifully illustration with more than 40 color photographs on high

quality glossy paper and was favorable reviewed numerous times in the

English and Spanish language press in Spain. I could make my copies

available to your class, department at a cost of $10 per book plus postage

thus enabling you to sell them at more than double that. The book is a

highly readable account with cultural information that any long term visitor

would appreciate in being able to relate to the topics of importance for

Spaniards. You can pay by check, cash or paypal. Please contact me at
