This review is from: Explorer's Guide Santa Fe & Taos: A Great Destination (Seventh Edition) (Explorer's Great Destinations) (Paperback)

The Santa Fe & Taos Book is one of several books we used for our exploratory journey to the town. It helped us produce excellent photography during our 10 day voyage.

This text did not contain "everything" we needed, such as detailed maps, historical information, and more. However, it sufficed. In addition, unlike other guide books, we appreciated the details about visiting pueblos in the area, such as what to do (or not do), what to pay or donate, where to go (or not go), and so on.

For a full scholarly approach to artful collage-making, we also brought along the following:

Benchmark New Mexico Road & Recreation Atlas, 10th Anniversary Edition (Benchmark Map: New Mexico Road & Recreation Atlas)

Insiders' Guide to Santa Fe, 4th (Insiders' Guide Series)

Santa Fe, History of an Ancient City: Revised and Expanded Edition
