At the moment I don't have very many books solely on Teotihuacan, mostly Teotihuacan is covered in other books that cover a variety of cultures, but two that I do have I wanted to post about. The first, Teotihuacan: The City of the Gods authored by Adrian Garcia Valades in collaboration with the Nacional de Antropologia e Historia, is a slim volume published in 1991, but very worthwhile. It has some excellent information on the city, chronology, society, religion, etc. and tacked on to the back of it is even some tourist information. LOL
The second book I'm going to mention here is one to stay away from - it's very misleading and when I received it I was very disappointed. This particular one would be Gods of Teotihuacan from M. Wiesenthal. Despite the title, the book is mostly comprised of photographs and very few of those are even of Teotihuacan. Mostly they are contemporary photographs and the actual text is very minimal. So give this one a wide berth, even if you can get it for a buck fifty. ;o)
I have another I picked up a few months back, but since I haven't had time to read through even part of it, I'll wait to post on that one. *g*
