I am in the process of trying to do the same.  Here is the information 
from the Univeristy of California library catalog system.  It looks 
like there is a copy at Bancroft at UC Berekely and another at the 
California State Library in San Francisco.  I know there is another at 
UT Brownsville...

Alicia, through the Interlibrary Loan System.  Can you give me more 
detail like, the publisher, catalog number, date published or ISBN 
number.  Also, the name "Retonos de Espana en la Nueva Galicia" sounds 
more like what the title should be?  I have similarly obtained a copy 
of the "Sagrada Mitra" .

I purchased it a few months ago, and it is tremendously helpful and
interesting.  It has a lengthy index, and the entries summarize the
relationships between pretensos.  As a favor to the group, I would be
happy to do lookups of names.  The book focuses on the areas within
the archbishopric of Guadalajara, from the late 1600s until the early
1700s.  If you want me to look up a name for you, send me the complete
names of a couple (and parents if you know them), their location, and
approximate dates to my private email address.   I'll respond as soon
as possible.  The summaries briefly relate what is in the
dispensation, along with the FHC film number so you can look up the
actual document.

Here's Luz Montejano web page.  It isn't updated very frequently but
it has some information and an email address to write to her.

Alicia:

I must say I have been very lucky as well.  I actually started last 
Spring, but like Maria, I had help from some relatives.  On my 
maternal side, I have an aunt who has incredible memory and still 
recalls the names and family history of her great-grandparents from 
stories told to her as a child.  On my paternal side, my father was 
made the keeper of family history when he was handed a pile of 
documents by an uncle shortly before his death.  These two 
repositories made it much easier to delve into the baptismal records 
since I had good family information going back to the late 1800s.

The next piece of luck I had was that the main town where I have been 
researching (Totatiche, Jalisco) has immaculate church records... no 
missing books and all indexed in IGI and VRI.  Now that I have 
started branching out more and more to other towns, I realize that 
this is not the case everywhere.

Finally, my primas, Rosalinda Ruiz and Angie Godina, from this group 
have helped me out a lot.  Also, the local histories and genealogies 
that have been written up and the land documents and censuses that 
have been transcribed by Esteban Valdes Salazar for Totatiche have 
been very helpful.  I know that the easy part is now over as the 
baptismal records end around 1700 for Totatiche and Colotlan.

Also, my research has become a bit of an obsesion and I spend every 
other Saturday at the Family History Center and lots of free time 
doing research, filling in holes, etc.

Alicia, I had not heard of this Retonos de Espana book... I will have 
to look it up, though even the Library of Congress does not appear to 
have a copy.

Alberto, the Sagrada Mitra is a transcription of a large number of 
FHL/LDS films on marriage dispensations by the Bishphoric of New 
Galicia (which included the modern states of Jalisco, Nayarit, 
Aguascalientes, Zacatecas, Nuevo Leon, and Texas) in the 1600s and 
1700s, with a name index.  The FHL in Salt Lake City has a copy, but 
it is not on film.  I suggest you try to find a copy near you in a 
library... Alternatively you can order one from Borderlands Books.
