The Southron's Guide to Living in Uruguay (Paperback)

I head a lot about this Southron book about living in Uruguay. I wanted to buy a copy for helping me with my move to Uruguay.

I looked on Amazon and there were two sellers with it, office_bookshelf is offering the paperback for $49 + $3.99 shipping. any_book is offering it for $121.07 + $3.99 shipping.

I was a bit shocked with the price. Is the $121.07 edition really special?

Thank author of this post/commentHey Larry!

So you're planning a move to Uruguay eh? where are you coming from?

I personally think most of these "guides" are actually sugarcoated CIA world factbook stats rehashed so as to sell products - whether that product be investments, real estate, relocation assistance blah blah blah.

I know when moving country you want to know as much as possible in advance, even reading easily obtained information (like geographical info for example) in print form seems to put our minds at ease, it makes it seem more definite, more reliable, but thats not really the case.

A friend of mine has EVERY guide written about Uruguay and I found myself flipping through them the other day - they're all the same! Most of it with idealistic descriptions, written from only one perspective and often with outdated information (Uruguay is developing all the time, things are changing, information needs to be online to update-able).

For this reason me and Glen started Total Uruguay's FREE online e-book. It aims to offer the information new arrivals and potential expats are looking for, but with some HONESTY. We hope to offer real opinions, from real people who are living here and have gone through it.

Its always expanding (it is potentially never ending as there are so many subjects to be discussed) but the most important details are already there - the residency process, obtaining citizenship, finding accommodation, the rental process, the pros and cons of living here, what things you should bring with you etc - its all there.

I hope you find it helpful, don't be fooled that expensive prices represent a more informed product, I have made that mistake before!

Thank author of this post/commentThat book also seems to have been published in 2006, so paying those prices for what is apparently an interesting but outdated information seems kind of silly.

I looked on Amazon and that book doesn't seem to be sold BY AMAZON... just a couple independent sellers on there have copies for sale.. hence the variation in price.

You can also come to the expat meetings on Sundays and talk to lots of people who have, are thinking about or the process of moving to Uruguay. You can get lots of great information and perspectives there.

This forum is also a good place to ask questions... as many can offer their opinions and many others will benefit from the discussions.

Thank author of this post/commentSounds like wicked profiteering to me :-)

AFAIR David (The Southron) will flog you a downloadable .pdf copy for much less than that.

I found it useful but I arrived over here several years ago when the book was new.

You can buy the ebook direct from the author for US$29.95, at the site below. At that site you can also view the index and first chapter of the book for free, to see if you want to pay for the rest of it. I found it well worth the price. The more different sources of information you have, the better, I think.

If you prefer a hardcopy version, you can buy that for the same price at lulu dot com. (Then when you're done with it you can sell it on Amazon for whatever price you like!)

For the nonspellers: Urugauy and Monte Video is Montevideo (monte-vid-day-o), real estate agents are "Inmobiliaria", and of course Uruguay is not spelled Uraguay. 2637959860
