If you love New Mexico, buy this book
If you ever read books of Tony Hillerman, be sure to take a look at this book.

Wonderful writing, great photos, bad print job.
If Only! If only this book had been printed by the National Geographic Society, or Arizona Highways, or somebody who specializes in scenic calendars. The fabulous photos in here deserve top quality printing, and they didn't get it.

The fabulous photos in here deserve top quality printing, and they didn't get it. However, I heartily recommend this book to all my fellow Hillerman fans, *anyway*, because the essays are great, and the background information on some of the events that inspired scenes in certain of the novels is priceless. If you loved 'A Thief of Time' as much as I did, you'll very much enjoy the descriptions of the actual site that inspired it. Hillerman's 'travelogue' down the Rio Grande is also wonderful. |
