About Me
- lynn deweese-parkinson
- I am a bookseller with about 20 years experience, having taken up the trade after retiring as a trial lawyer. I deal exclusively in books on Mexico & bullfighting. I am sole proprietor of my shop in Playas de Tijuana, Baja California, Mexico. I am also the list owner for The Bibliophile Mailing List, an email discussion list of book dealers, collectors, librarians, & others interested in the book trade. My unfulfilled ambitions are first, to play violin with such artistry as to make a Spanish Gypsy cry and second, to survive with grace in the arena with a full grown toro bravo.

Yes, they are burros painted. In the 1920s there were carts on Av. Revolucion with burros for tourists to have their photos taken. Then someone discovered that burros painted like zebras showed up better in the photos and attracted the tourists so now it is a long standing tradition, Tijuana zebras in front of carts full of tourists.
