Bottom line, get-to-the-point synopsis =
If you're interested in every possible fishing "lake" (>/= 1 acre)
across NM, it's an excellent source. Really.
If you're only interested in the larger (4k-40k acres) lakes for
fishing and sailing, write NM State Parks for free info that's just as
useful. Spend the $30 on a surprise for your spouse. Better return on
your money.

Hoping this is of value, Lin
PS: After reading "Lakes of New Mexico", I think I'll write "Succulents
of Alaska".
