This well-loved copy of “WHY, HOW & WHERE TO LIVE IN MEXICO” by Jane Thompson Cobbe offers a fascinating glimpse into the expatriate experience in mid-20th century Mexico. Published in the wake of World War II, when many Americans sought new frontiers, this practical guidebook captured the allure of Mexico’s vibrant culture, affordable living, and stunning landscapes. Cobbe, an experienced traveler and writer, provides invaluable insights into navigating the bureaucracy, finding housing, and embracing the local customs – making it an indispensable resource for those seeking to establish roots south of the border. Despite its age, the book remains a time capsule of a pivotal era when Mexico emerged as a popular destination for adventurous souls seeking an alternative to the conventional American dream. The handwritten notes on the front page add a personal touch, hinting at the dreams and experiences of a previous owner who may have used this very volume to plan their own Mexican odyssey.
