Several of the books about tequila listed here were found in bookstores in Mexico. Search Barnes and Noble - BN.com and Amazon.com - they have several of the books I have shown here. Some of the Spanish language books are available from US suppliers such as www.mexgrocer.com and others. A search on eBay also shows a good selection of books about Tequila.

From the Publisher
Reprinted by popular demand, this is an indispensable guide to agaves.
"Based on twenty-five years of research on the genus Agave, this book combines an authoritative taxonomic treatment and extensive ethnobotanical information with an attractive, readable text. . . . Gentry has gathered together enough material on agave taxonomy, distribution, ethnobotany and cultivation to make two or three books and presented it in an informative and engaging fashion."--Journal of the Arizona-Nevada Academy of Science
"A total of 136 species (197 taxa) are carefully described [with] detailed notes on their native habitat and economic usages, all of which is presented in a most readable manner. It is a book to browse through and enjoy." --Journal of Arid Environments
"Professional taxonomists will need the book for the 23 new taxa and 13 changes in taxonomic status that are described. Field biologists can rejoice in the regional keys and easily discernible key characters."--Quarterly Review of Biology
Widely recognized as the world's leading authority on agaves, Howard Scott Gentry was an agricultural explorer for the U.S. Department of Agriculture and was also affiliated with the Desert Botanical Garden in Phoenix. |
