Summary: Hot? No....COLD.

Review: I have toured hot springs in the Azores, England and California and appreciated Bischoff's directions, historical references, and insight into the hot springs of Arizona. He alerted his readers of all ages and abilities to the joys and hazards of the hot springs and was particularly clear about the directions to each site. It is obvious in reading that he took careful notations and researched the geologic and social history of each area. I look forward to taking a spring tour of Bischoff's Arizona hot springs.

Summary: Not So Hot
Review: This book didn't even come close to living up to it's claim of listing 36 of "the best" hot springs in Arizona; for one thing, there aren't that many. The first three listings say right in them that bathing or swimming is prohibited, hardly among what we'd call the best hot springs. One listing dried up half a century ago and there's been no soaking there since. Many typos or wrong words show poor proofreading and little attention to detail. We couldn't recommend this book to anyone. HOT SPRINGS & HOT POOLS OF THE SOUTHWEST by Gersh-Yound is much, much more accurate and is worth the price. Mr. Bischoff needs to check his facts before making claims. Caveat Emptor
