I already read picture related. What should I read next? Is there a book available about the Mayans?
Should I go with the Incas or Native American thought?

i've read a couple of books about the mexica (aztecs) since i saw the awesome exhibition at the british museum a few years ago
but the best one i've read is the BM's own book, pic related. it's the right balance between pretty pictures and informed writing
Bump, i am also interested on the Maya.

The florentine codex is a good start. If you're interested in history, search Miguel Leon Portilla's publications.
