Costa Rica for Fun and Profit

"Choose Costa Rica" is a description of that Central American country, aimed at gringos who intend to visit, move, invest, buy real estate, or retire there. The emphasis is more on "how to do it" rather than "where to go," although there is plenty of information to enable the vacationer to determine where to go and how to get there-even how to drive there, and how to cross the borders on the way. One nice feature of this book is the explanation of many Spanish terms and idioms. There is excellent advice about starting a business or buying property.
