My late grandfather was a prolific reader. Prior to him passing away (over 15 years ago) I visited him in Mexico one day and we started talking about recent books we were reading. To my amazement he started talking about "Lines and Shadows," which I was reading at the same time. It was a total coincidence.
He stated how important the story was and how the border problems had no easy solution. After I started this documentary I searched for his copy of the book but it looked like it was lost - until by accident my grandmother found it and sent it to me. Here you can see the cover.
On the last page of the book it states this is one copy of only 30,000 copies that were printed. A collectors item in my opinion : )
The translation for the paragraph at the bottom of the book reads as follows - "10 men try to conquer the complex and dangerous frontier between the United States and Mexico. A novel where reality is even more terrifying than fiction."
