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.

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
