Resource Materials

Cuba is a country of rapid change. On our website we have attempted to keep all of the information as up-to-date as possible. The following publications have been of great assistance in our research. We have limited our listing to those published in the English language, only because that is the language we speak. We have also limited them to those published since 2000. It is our feeling that those published prior to that date would have material that is out of date. We have also limited our listing to those books which contain information and have not listed any of the fine pictorial books available which are compilations of photographs. If you become aware of publications we should be listing but have not, or of a newer edition of one of the listed publications, please email the details to us so that they might be added. All publications are generally available through the www.chapters.indigo.ca website in Canada or the www.barnesandnoble.com website in the US.
