5.0 out of 5 stars Great book to plan a trip, June 17, 2003

By	Markus Egger "www.MarkusEgger.com/blog" (Spring, TX United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: National Geographic Traveler: Arizona (Paperback)

This book is organized very well for people who are interested in planning a trip to Arizona and want to make sure they do not miss any of the great sites. The book is organized by area, allowing the reader to focus on a particular area of the state. Lots of pictures and great descriptions provide good information and a good idea of what to expect.

I used this book to start planning a trip, and it worked out very well. Note however, that I also had some additional books to find more information about specific areas, Arizona history, hikes, and much more. This type of information is not provided at a great level of detail here.

5.0 out of 5 stars Terrific book to learn about what Arizona has to offer, August 6, 2007

By	JeanK (Somerset, NJ) - See all my reviews

This is a nice size book that you can use to both plan your trip to Arizona as well as bring with you while you're traveling. It's a paperback with a heavy-duty cover. It also gives you an overview of the history of Arizona going back thousands of years ago to the present. The book divides the state into regions and then spends about 1-2 pages on a place or town. Just about all of the book (about 230 pages) is spent on this, the back of the book (about 30 pages) is spent listing various hotels and restaurants in each area. (Frankly I'd just get a AAA guide if that's all you're looking for) Websites are given for most of the places discussed in the book so you can get more information. I wouldn't use this book as my only guide to Arizona, but it is a good start!
