About This Item
Austin, TX: State House Press, 1992. Book. As New. Hardcover. 1st Edition. 9 1/2 h x 6 1/4w. A real nice clean unmarked176 page first edition (stated) hardcover in a very nice clean dust jacket. Has numerous photos and illustrations. Michener uses his original journals and notes of his travels in Mexico and Spain, and his memories of the people he met, to illustrate how the characters and plot of the novel were conceived and how they matured. Included is a chapter on the beguiling "Texas Girls" who were eliminated from the novel in an editorial cut that might have defeated the author thirty years previously..
Synopsis
My Lost Mexico, by American author James A. Michener, is a nonfiction account of Michener's endeavor to write a big novel about Mexico, in the grand style of his other popular novels, like Hawaii. Michener relates the long journey of a novel which he had begun writing early in his career, but had abandoned, and the manuscript had ultimately been lost. Its discovery 30 years later led to the 1992 bestseller Mexico. My Lost Mexico also includes the never-before published novella The Texas Girls.

About Warren's Books
I have been selling books since 1976. I am not a mega-lister that just types in an ISBN and paste a message of how great I am or how many books we\I sell. I list each book carefully trying to tell the faults and positives of our book. Most of the time I will tell what the book is about and list if it a first edition, hardcover or has a dust jacket. Photos of books are usually my scan and not a stock photo. If you have any questions, please ask. If you decide to pay with check or money order, please make it out to Warren Hahn, That's me!! I have about 5,200 books online with another 200 to list.
