There is an edition published in Mexico as well with a different 
ISBN.  I have perused through the book at the Library of Congress.  
It is very well indexed, and has a good deal of informtion though it 
is a bit cryptographic as all of the information is provided in 
abbreviations so as to save page space... There is then a translation 
table at the front to make sense of all the codes.

The Ministry of Culture in Spain has a website that has many of their 
archive documents online.  I am just now trying to figure out how to 
use it.  Try this link... it has instructions in English.  The 
webiste is only in Spanish:

http://www.ldelpino.com/aeren.html

The "catalogue" is a seven volume publication for of the passenger 
lists through 1599... Below is the Library of Congress entry for the 
books, as well as a link to other LOC resources on Spanish 
immigration to the New World.  I live in Washington DC so that is 
where I will probably access these (if I can't do it online) but I 
imagine other large libraries have copies as well.  I believe that 
the LDS has filmed the entirety of the passenger lists through the 
18th Century but those films do not circulate to local Family History 
Centers... so you will basically have to go to Seville or Salt Lake 
City to see them unless the online access works.  I am crossing my 
fingers that it does.
