About a year ago, we told you about an electronic book launched by the Image Factory Art Foundation. It's called "Maximo: the Last Alcalde of San Jose Yalbac".
The stylishly designed volume tells the origin story of San Jose Palmar Village in the Orange Walk District, and how Maximo Perez and his people resisted the colonial rulers of the day. This electronic book brought a story shared through oral tradition to life, using cutting-edge graphic design.
Last Saturday, the personalities behind the e-book traveled to San Jose Palmar Village to officially launch it. With video provided by the Image Factory, here's how that launching event looked:
The book is available for free as a downloadable eBOOK on the Image Factory Art Foundation Facebook page. A limited printed edition is now available for sale at $20 each, from the Image Factory in Belize City.
