5.0 out of 5 stars End of the Road for Author Bill Weir, May 15, 2008

By	William S. Weir "traveler" (Flagstaff, AZ United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Alas, the 3rd edition of Grand Canyon (2005) is the last one that I will write in the Moon Handbook series. The publisher has contracted a new author to write a smaller, more opinionated 4th edition with new text. It should not be judged--good or bad--based on the previous editions.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect guide, December 28, 2006

By	Cool Person (Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania United States of America) - See all my reviews

this book is probably the best guide book I have ever used. It has really good info. It has information on both rims of the canyon and some surrounding areas of Arizona. It has a useful metric-standard conversion table in the back. Bill Weir writes like an expert. The book will make you an expert on the grand canyon. Not only does it contain tourist information but it also has history and facts about the canyon. Great travel tool.
