We recently moved to Tucson and this book is very comprehensive and informative. I especially enjoyed some of the restaurants recommended in this book. Great food for a great price! A must-have for anyone moving or vacationing in the area.

My only regret is that it didn't have more pictures or color.

A good, basic guide to Tuscon and its environs. Fairly comprehensive, well written and accurate. The ink is very pale and so it is not very easy to read from a design/layout point of view.
