Because we have been active participants in the Mexican academic publishing world for more than four decades, we have the contacts and wherewithal to quickly hunt down and obtain obscure and hard-to-find titles.
Ever wonder why other specialized Mexican book vendors seldom offer to supply out-of-print or hard-to-get books? Their business model requires them to offer only books they already have at hand or easy to acquire titles from major presses. What about publications from NGOs? Government agencies? Trade associations? We thrive on providing specialized publications that enrich and enhance library collections. Our greatest satisfaction is to fulfill requests for singular books from obscure and out-of-the-way publishers.
Our acquisitions information and holdings date from the 1980s. Such longevity in the marketplace means that we do have copies of many out-of-print titles.
We stock more than 13,000 Mexican academic publications for immediate fulfillment.
Books From Mexico maintains its principal operating center in Mexico City from there we branch out to the rest of the country. We have been a participant in the Mexican academic book trade for so many decades that we know how and where to find out-of-print books not currently in stock.

Some of my fondest childhood memories are rooted in the bookstores of Miguel Ángel de Quevedo. I vividly remember spending hours in the children’s book section, captivated by the illustrations—particularly those from A la orilla del viento, my favorites—while my parents browsed for their next reads. Despite being the last in my class to learn to […]
