This book is a great "coffee table book." It's a nice gift to someone who has been to Sedona and misses it, as well it gives the pre-visitor to Sedona a decent idea of what to expect from Sedona visually. I only say "decent" because, well, Sedona is THAT beautiful. The book is done superbly and effeciently.

While my husband and I honeymooned in Sedona for 5 days in October, the weather changed dramatically from sunny, windy, rainy, dry, wet, humid, crisp and refreshing and back to sunny again. Nothing was ever ugly, or less than jaw-dropping, about it. Additionally, it is simply an interesting place to be because constantly, all day long, Sedona offers 360 degree views of something curious to look at. Even the buildings, shops, architecture, private homes are all somehow tickling to the senses. What keeps you focused is where the mountains are placed. It helps you to remember you're feet are still on earth.

This book, purchased while in Sedona, we felt was a good summary of that feeling. We hope you like it. ~~ Mr. & Mrs. G.

This book is a must-have for every visitor to the Red Rock Country, resident, or lover of the majesty of this area. For $$$$$ this book is definitely the best deal out there! The full page, color photos are spectacular and the writing is intriguing. This is a memento of Sedona that will take you back to the beauty of this magical place no matter how far away you are.

Sedona is one of those places on earth that when you visit, you are touched by its ever changing beauty forever. This lovely offering is filled with spectacular photographs and natural history, recreation and historical information. Having visited Sedona many times, this book truly captures the essence of this unique piece of landscape that attracts so many people for its beauty, its mystical power and its outdoor activities. Northland Publishing has produced a "coffee table type book" without the often lofty investment expense. If you have ever made a pilgrimage to Sedona or long to visit, this is the book that you must have in your home library. Truly, a beautiful book.

Someone else described this as a "coffee table" book. that is exactly right. the pictures are nice, but there is not much information in it. If you are looking for a book about sedona to help you know what to do there or how to get around or just good basic information - you won't find it here. and it's too big to take it with you on vacation.

I have bought several books on Sedona in the past and this is by far the best. The pictures are large and vibrant and the descriptions and information are accurate. The book covers formations, wildlife, flora and fauna, cultural history, etc.
I am taking my third trip out to Sedona this month and this book gave me new insight to some places to go and the history that lies within Sedona. This is a great book and it is always on my coffee table for all to see the beauty of Sedona.

This is a wonderful snapshot of the Sedona area! Just leafing through it brings back many memeories of being in the area. Wonderful photos and great information. At an unbelievable price! A wonderful gift at not much more than the price of a card!

This is a large, thin paperback which would probably be a nice souvenir of Sedona (I haven't been yet!) but was not what I was hoping for. It's my own fault for not reading the reviews more closely. It's a little more useful than a (very) similar book called "Secret Sedona" which is also a large thin, paperback filled with nice photographs but not the practical information I am looking for as I plan our upcoming trip. I bought several books about Sedona from Amazon recently and none of them have been as useful as the information I can find on the web.

Excellent book. It captures the most beautiful scenery around Sedona. I keep it out on the table to remind me of some of my favorite spots in Sedona.

I was looking for a guide to explain the best places to view the different rock formations. This book didn't meet my needs but has beautiful pictures.
