About the Author

About the Author Edie Jarolim has worn many hats — not counting the sombrero she donned on a certain one-margarita-too-many night…. She has a Ph.D. in American literature from New York University (which explains the occasional highbrow literary allusion) and was a senior editor at Frommer's travel guides in New York before being lured by the warm sun and endless vistas — not to mention the inexpensive real estate — to Tucson, Arizona, in 1992. She has since written about the Southwest and Mexico for a variety of national publications, ranging from the America West Airlines Magazine, Art & Antiques, and Brides to the New York Times Book Review and the Wall Street Journal. In addition to Arizona For Dummies, she's the author of Frommer's San Antonio and Austin and the Complete Idiot's Travel Guide to Mexico's Beach Resorts.

2.0 out of 5 stars Incomplete, May 16, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Arizona For Dummies (Paperback)
Books ignores many places in Arizona. Nothing on Lake Havasu, Kingman, Oatman, Yuma, ShowLow, Pinetop, Payson, Mogollon Rim and nothing on cover of book, front or back, indicates it selectively covers state.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Beginners Guide, September 24, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Arizona For Dummies (Paperback)
I found this book to be a great guide for our one week trip driving around Arizona. Some of the places we visited include Phoenix, Sedona, Flagstaff, Cameron, North Rim, Page/Lake Powell, Navajo Reservation, Chinle, and Winslow. All of the places that I was interested in visiting were covered in detail in the book with lots of good tips, besides just what to eat and where to stay. We followed a lot of the recommendations in the book and had a wonderful time.

1.0 out of 5 stars Useless, October 20, 2001
This review is from: Arizona For Dummies (Paperback)
In my eyes the book is absolutely useless. It is more than superficial as far as sightseeing is concerned. You certainly need another guide to check out which attractions are worth a visit and what exactely is offered. The best information is on hotels and restaurants and you can get these (and better one) the web. Not worth the relatively high price
