Ancient West Mexico, edited by Richard Townsend for Thames and Hudson with the Art Institute of Chicago, 1998, is a scholarly edited volume, produced to accompany a museum exhibition. Its strength is that it gathers specialist essays and high quality documentation of the art and archaeology of a region less widely covered than central Mexico. Its limit is the ordinary one for an exhibition catalogue volume: it is shaped in part around what could be gathered and shown for the exhibition rather than being a comprehensive survey of the whole archaeological record.
