Neither is "The Cuban Red Bible". All text, no pictures. Be warned.
I now wish I had given vol. 1 a pass. It deals almost entirely with pre-revolutionary things and will be of very limited (= "no") interest to this forum. The third volume is good, and gives the full text of all the post-revolutionary decrees. I am sure there is much to be learned here, if I could only read Spanish.
Overall = Disappointed.
But, as I feared, the author is a "Florida Cuban".
We still need a good "Cuba Book". ("Taz" . . . ????)
Hi Ed,
not the Cuban Bible by any means i agree, although having no images wasn't a suprise because i knew that beforehand.
After reading a few pages online i also knew that Vol 1 was mostly pre-revolution, i suppose it all depends on what you want, pictures of awards that we already have, or on the other hand hard fact info on the laws regarding them.
It has already proved it's worth with the Medalla "De la Independecia" information and the other pre-revolution awards that were ratified in the ley 30.
So for me it would be overall = as expected.
As for the book issue, well i have been contemplating that for a while now and at the moment i feel that i am still missing a few pieces of the puzzle which i hope to be solved by these books from Maikel.
Best regards Eddie.
