I bought this book for my parents. They've lived in Arizona for three years but tell me that they have been passing by all these really cool landmarks without knowing they were even there. Now they are finding out interesting facts about their own area and areas in the vicinity that they are planning on visiting (now that the book has given them even more purpose to venture there). I highly recommend it for the seasoned and the new.

Am I the only one to notice that "Arizona Curiosities" really has the state of Arkansas on its cover? Are they joking? I mean, the states both begin in "A," but that's absolutely where the similarities end. Maybe this is a prime example of grade schools which allow students who have not learned the academic basics to move to the next level and the next, on through the system. And that's why some students can somehow get a high school or even a college diploma while still believing that Brazil is located in Europe.
