5.0 out of 5 stars Informative and entertaining, February 4, 2003

By	"lucas_p" (Tucson, AZ United States) - See all my reviews

I live in Tucson and get a lot of out-of-town friends and relatives passing through. I put this book in their hands and turn them loose. It covers just about everything a tourist would want and need to know, and then some, and the writing is pretty funny, but not stupid. The book is organized very usefully, with restaurants and attractions and motels listed by what section of the city they're in. Even I didn't know some of the things in this book, and I've lived here nearly 30 years. I just wish they'd come out with an update, because some of the restaurants have closed since this was published.

3.0 out of 5 stars A good overview, September 30, 2001

By	David F. Nolan (Tucson, AZ United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I bought this because I was going to Tucson on vacation, with an eye to perhaps retiring there eventually. I found the book useful, although a bit superficial. Still, it's worth the price.
