Books about Baja California take us there through the travels and research of others. Much can be said about these books and their authors. For now, I will simply show their covers and give the year of publishing. Categories of books will be: Travel Stories; Guides; History; Ocean Activities (Fishing/Boating/Whales) & Others (Cook books, Photo/ Coffee Table books, Magazines bound into books).
