Anyone know where I can purchase a copy of Owen Lee's "A Prisoner in Paradise" about Owen's early days in Zihuatanejo?
Fruity Keiko used to carry copies, but no longer.
PS I need it ASAP, before we leave for home. No time to order it from Amazon or anywhere else

I bought one a couple of years ago on eBay.

I was fortunate to purchase mine directly from Owen Lee himself!! Back in 2010, we walked to Playa las Gatas and were wandering around on Owen's property. Low and behold, there he was, tending to his palm trees.
He invited us into his home for coffee. We sat and he told us stories. One that I remember, was when he lived in NYC…in a small apartment in Chinatown. With a surname "Lee" - he kept getting 3rd class mail in Chinese! too funny.
He signed my book and off we went.
It's my 6 degrees of Jacques Cousteau.

Still no luck finding a copy of "A Prisoner in Paradise", but we did come across a second book that Owen Lee wrote. It was in Spanish and we can't recall the title. It had a photo of a young Jimi Mamou on the cover.
We'll keep looking. The fellow at the wonderful Mexican crafts shop on Cinco de Mayo said he would ask around for us.

I will tell you that there is probably not a copy available in Zihua. You can order it from Amazon though.
