  The Hillsboro Historical Society (HHS) has released “Guajolotes, Zopilotes, y Paisanos - The First Ten Years - A Reader”, edited by Harley G. Shaw. The book features all of the main articles of the first ten years of the Society’s excellent newsletter. It costs $20 ($15 for members of the Society) and is available from Harley Shaw or Garland Bills (until the HHS’s Black Range Museum reopens). It warrants notice here because some of Harley Shaw’s excellent natural history articles are reprinted in this release. And they, by themselves, are worth the cost.
Note that membership in the HHS is only $25 a year and comes with perks like book discounts and outings to historical sites as well as the good feelings you experience from supporting a worthy cause. For membership particulars see the HHS facebook page.
