This review is from: Finding the Wright Places in California and Arizona: A Book for Frank Lloyd Wright Fans (Paperback)

I used this to visit a few sites in the Phoenix/Scottsdale area. Directions were right on the mark!!! As long as you know which way is north it's easy to follow the diagrams. The only tricky part is getting to one of the starting points if you're not familiar with the areas, but mapquest or google can help you with that. I loved that it organized all the Arizona sites for the shortest trip and made it posible to see them all in one day!
