  1. Books I see recommended the most (though you should read the akshistorians posts too for a foundational context):
  2.  
  3. - Aztec Warfare: Imperial Expansion and Political Control (and Ross Hassig's other works),
  4. - Aztec Thought and Culture (note: is dense and may not be palatable too those without a foundational context)
  5. - Stories in Red and Black: Pictorial Histories of the Aztecs and Mixtecs
  6. - 1491: New revelations of the Americas before Columbus.
  7. - Seven myths of the Spanish conquest
  8.  
  9. Master list: (note, includes north native americans and Andean civilization books too, not just Mesoamerica, unfortunately not organized. Worth noting some of these books are just stuff I saw looked cool and I can';t vouch for their reliability, but most of them (>90% were recommended by somebody who knows their shit):
