This can include published works in all forms, such as newspaper articles, other books, television documentaries, bestseller lists, and reviews.

The review notes: "Travel writers Santo Cilauro, Tom Gleisner and Rob Stich are at it again. In their new guide to the fictional land of San Sombrero (San Francisco: Chronicle Books LLC, 2006) they serve up a tantalising platter of tropicalizations, exoticized culinary fixations, superficial politico-economic analyses and a hefty dose of feel-good in-group reinforcement, all for 'the undiscerning traveller' (cover). But before you rush out to buy San Sombrero: A Land of Carnivals, Cocktails and Coups, you might take a moment to consider why this type of work is considered humorous. Although you may be tickled by its approach and impressed by its slick appearance, the guide is no less problematic for taking on a fictionalized topic." "Travel books: Journeying cover to cover" .

The review notes: "This guide to a land whose main attraction is its lack of extradition treaties is the latest offering in the Jet Lag series which brought us the hilarious Molvania and Phaic Tan. I don't think it's quite as funny as its predecessors - though that may be because having chuckled my way through both I knew what to expect - but it's still a delight to read. ... Bad taste? Sure. That's the point."  Larsen, Alexis (2007-04-27).  " 'Jetlag Travel Guide' " .  Dayton Daily News .  Archived from the original on 2024-06-26 .  Retrieved 2024-06-26 .  The review notes: "If you're not taking a vacation this summer, then you're dreaming of taking one. Either way, you'll get a lot of laughs out of the Jetlag Travel Guide series. ... Of course, it is all these things — and more — making this sun drenched republic one of the most exciting travel destinations in all of Central America."

Now, welcome to San Sombrero, a land of carnivals, cocktails and coups.  The third Jetlag Travel Guide comes once again from the fertile minds of the Working Dog Productions team.  Santo Cilauro, Tom Gleisner and Rob Sitch have come up with the definitive guide to what you can expect if you go to South America.  Well, sort of.  San Sombrero, like Molvania and Phaic Tan, doesn't exist, but, in line with the first two, it can give you a definitive taste of a people and their culture.  San Sombrero could be a smattering of Brazil mixed in with a pinch of Cuba and a dash of Mexico. " "Fun-filled break at Sombrero". Birmingham Mail . 2007-01-26. p. 63. ProQuest 321699023 . The review notes: "San Sombrero, which is a follow-up to previous guides on Molvania and Phaic Tan, is promoted as a "land of carnivals, cocktails and coups".   The guide, which comes with a convincing array of photographs, describes San Sombrerans as essentially laid-back people, so much so that the inaugural marathon race had to be abandoned as most of the field were still chatting several hours after the official start. " Owen, Katie (2006-12-10). "Paperbacks". The Sunday Telegraph . p. 57. ProQuest 309516600 . The review notes: "This is a hilarious spoof travel guide to a fictional Central American country.  Extremely lightheartedly, it satirises eco- and adventure-travellers and the way many guides gloss over negative aspects of a place.  As well as ludicrous detailed descriptions of San Sombrero's culture, history and politics ('it boasts the only Nobel Peace Prize winner to be accused of war crimes'), there are useful symbols denoting everything from 'military installation' to 'illegal wildlife for sale'. " Chipperfield, Words Mark (2006-10-26). "Final Call". The Sydney Morning Herald . p. 114. ProQuest 364294552 . The review notes: "From the authors of Molvania and Phaic Tan comes San Sombrro: A Land Of Carnivals, Cocktails and Coups (Jetlag, $29.95).  Santo Cilauro, Tom Gleisner and Rob Sitch explore Central America's most politically incorrect nation.  Its attractions include "tropical charms, an exotic lifestyle and lack of extradition treaties".  San Sombrro is a place where the church permits animal sacrifice, school canteens sell rum and its most famous war criminal won a Nobel Prize.  There are useful chapters on cigarette brands, bull fighting, feminism and the telephone system.  Totally hilarious - even the contributor profiles are funny.  Available at all silly bookshops. " There is sufficient coverage in reliable sources to allow San Sombrèro to pass Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline , which requires "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject".  Cunard ( talk ) 10:04, 26 June 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Please add there refs to the article.  I honestly tried to find these refs in google, but found only one, which is now in the article.  Something wrong with google search?  (And I also found the book text in google archive).  I did apply due diligence.  - Altenmann >talk 16:12, 26 June 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep : per Cunard's sourcing.
