I like The Arizona Guide because it is different from other guidebooks that attempt to cover every single hotel and restaurant. The subject matter is current and informative. Even my husband, who has lived in Arizona his whole life, told me he was surprised at how much he learned about the state from the first three pages. Filled with both well-known and unusual destinations, written in easy-to-understand prose and organized into eight geographic regions, The Arizona Guide is the perfect reference book for Arizona visitors and residents alike.

You'll be glad you found this book, and this author! A wealth of useful, interesting and informative material. And the bonus is that it's written with style. We're using it to plan a trip, and it's the only resource we'll need. Highly recommended.

I've been seduced! I will head for Arizona and never look back! This book presents Arizona in a way that will please all types of readers . . .from those who just like to read about a wonderful place to those who will get in their cars and hop from one spot to the next with the Arizona Guide clutched in their hands. Serious historians and serious naturalists alike will find material to lure them to little-known areas of Arizona. Did you know there's "wine country" in Arizona? Animals that look like monkeys? Huge underground caverns? Apparently Arizona has it all and this book will let you know about it. Me? I am heading for Sierra Vista to see the hummingbirds!

We recently returned from AZ and we used the Arizona Guide for the third time. It was great in helping us find places from just below "the rim" to the Mexican border. It is coherently written and organized - easy to stay with even for those of us who are just learning that wonderful state!

Although Ms. Wade describes all the sections of Arizona with area maps it is lacking in the amount of where to stay info. I found the book's format hard to follow. An index divided by subject would have helped and detailed maps. I will stick with Fodors travel books.
