I hope the Sedona Chamber of Commerce is ready. "A Window on Sedona" just might spark a huge new influx of would-be Red Rock country residents, not to mention tourists. The photography alone in this book is worth the cover price. The information it contains is a wonderful bonus. A great gift for anyone who has ever visited this beautiful portion of Arizona, or who plans to visit in the future.

The Arizona Republic, Sunday, November 14th. Book Review Section: A Window on Sedona, written by two Sedona transplants with a penchant for the charm of smallish towns, slow living, and great interior design, bills itself as a glimpse into the heart of Sedona through the lives of its residents. This means a melange of Southwestern recipes, essays on light, and a series on impressive Sedona interiors. The photos are fabulous vignettes of unique Sedona scenes that are sometimes coordinated with the text, sometimes included to showcase local beauty. By the time you get to page 50, it will all be decided. You'll know you have to get to Sedona right now. The pictures will make you craxy to leave the city and go traipsing in the Oak Creek country until you've stumbled upon the scenes in the book and taken them in with your own eye.

The authors reveal a unique understanding of living in the red rocks. With the book's exquisite photography of the panoramic views and intimate dwelliing places, coupled with the descriptions of the private lifesytles of locals, I found myself absorbed in both time and place - remembering and longing to return. It is truly a book that will remain on my coffee table.

This is a great way to experience Sedona without having to leave your livingroom. The next trip that my wife and I take will be to Sedona Arizona. I think that we will have to visit more than just once and at different times during the year in order to experience the beauty that the area holds. I highly recomend this coffee table book for a view on sedona, one of the secrets of the southwest.

Reading the book brought back fond memories of a family reunion held in Sedona. It's a fun book that brings the beauty and warmth of Sedona to the reader in any part of the country. The recipes are great! I recommend it to anyone who is interested in visiting Sedona or who just wants to relax and enjoy Sedona in daydreams.

My wife and I stumbled onto Sedona many years ago and we have had the pleasure of seeing it grow. "A Window on Sedona" allowed us to get a glimpse of Sedona through the people who live in this magical setting. Journeying to Sedona is worth the trip, but very rarely will you get to see this wonderful community from the homes of the people that inhabit this area. Truly a breathtaking look at the homes and landscapes that make up Sedona. If you have not had the opportunity to visit Sedona, then make sure to put it on your list of places to see in the United States. I highly recommend this book.

This book was recommended to me by a travel company that I had planned to take a trip to Sedona with. The book is beautifully put together and basically shows pictures of people's homes in Sedona. I think it was interesting, but I would have preferred a book with more pictures of the area and sights rather than people's personal homes. It is a very nice book though.
