Where you can build a modern home for $7,500 and an American retirement income looks like a fortune. It’s the land where your vacation money can buy double or more what it might back home-provided you know where to go for Mexico’s best values. Norman Ford’s big book Fabulous Mexico- Where Everything Costs Less tells you exactly where to get all this country’s best vacation and retirement values, where you can live like a prince on what you might just get along on in the U.S.A. Norman Ford knows Mexico from north to south, from east to west and he takes you to vacation and retirement areas that look more like the South Seas than Tahiti itself; to whole sections of just perfect weather where it’s like June all year round: plus resort after resort, towns, cities, spas, and what-not-else where you’ll have a vacation to remember at a cost so low it could seem unbelievable. If you want a delightful retirement area with plenty of Americans around to talk to, he leads you to all the principal retirement towns, as well as dozens of little known, perhaps even more delightful areas, where costs are way down, there’s plenty to do and meeting people is easy. He always shows you modern, flower-bedecked hotels and inns that charge hardly half of what you might expect to spend even in such a land of vacation and retirement bargains as Mexico. There’s a great deal more besides: everything from exploring ancient pyramids as old as Egypt’s to finding fabulous hunting and fishing. If you want to share in the high interest rates Mexican banks pay or to buy equally high-earning real estate or start a business of your own, this detailed guide to a fabulous land tells you what you must do to start your money earnirig so much more than in the U.S. Fabulous Mexico — Where Everything Costs Less opens up Mexico to you.

Dr., Toluca Lake, and it’s always a pleasure to chat with the owner-host, Paul Monad. His esteemed Uncle was a friend of that restaurateur genius, Henri Soule, and Paul’s restaurant philosophy is based on the same genteel ways of the old school. During our dehciously simple, but very good luncheon of fillet of §ole with fresh vegetables, salad and chilled bottle of white wine, Paul told us he now has the lovely Vivian Florian, concert artist on the piano, weekends joined by Remo with his clarinet.
