The Book of the Year: Middle American Calendrical Systems, Munro S. Edmonson's 1988 study from the University of Utah Press, is a scholarly comparative account of the calendar systems used across ancient Mesoamerica. Its strength is that it is a peer-reviewed academic monograph by a specialist in Mesoamerican linguistics and calendrics. Its limit is that Mesoamerican calendar studies have continued to develop since 1988, so specific correlations should be checked against more recent work.
