3.0 out of 5 stars A bit disappointed, November 19, 2009

This review is from: Arizona (Moon Handbooks) (Paperback)

As an Arizona resident of 25 years, I had purchased this book to replace my totally worn out Arizona Handbook which I have loved. I learned that the Handbook was no longer being published but had been taken over by the Moon book. Such a disappointment. There were so many "hidden gems" noted in the Handbook and I found this book to be a probably good tourist guide for the state but no where near the source for finding new, interesting and out of the way places that the Arizona Handbook had been.

This review is from: Arizona (Moon Handbooks) (Paperback)

I've used Moon Handbooks nearly religiously for the last 5 years. While this book is magnitudes better than the stuff Fodor's or Frommers try to pass off as guidebooks, it is a bit of a disappointment when compared to the excellent versions available for Utah and Nevada. It seems that since standardizing on the blue covers, Moon's thoroughness of covering states has decreased significantly.

We just returned from a fantastic trip to Arizona. My husband read the Moon Arizona Book cover to cover before we left, and the information within created the basis for such great adventures. Don't leave home without these books when you travel.
