Arizona Guide

Summary: This book is lacking in features for the average traveler
Review: Although Ms. Wade describes all the sections of Arizona with area maps it is lacking in the amount of where to stay info. I found the book's format hard to follow. An index divided by subject would have helped and detailed maps. I will stick with Fodors travel books.

Summary: This book is a must-have for Arizona visitors AND residents.
Review: I like The Arizona Guide because it is different from other guidebooks that attempt to cover every single hotel and restaurant. The subject matter is current and informative. Even my husband, who has lived in Arizona his whole life, told me he was surprised at how much he learned about the state from the first three pages. Filled with both well-known and unusual destinations, written in easy-to-understand prose and organized into eight geographic regions, The Arizona Guide is the perfect reference book for Arizona visitors and residents alike.

Summary: Can't wait to see these places in person!
Review: I've been seduced! I will head for Arizona and never look back! This book presents Arizona in a way that will please all types of readers . . .from those who just like to read about a wonderful place to those who will get in their cars and hop from one spot to the next with the Arizona Guide clutched in their hands. Serious historians and serious naturalists alike will find material to lure them to little-known areas of Arizona. Did you know there's "wine country" in Arizona? Animals that look like monkeys? Huge underground caverns? Apparently Arizona has it all and this book will let you know about it. Me? I am heading for Sierra Vista to see the hummingbirds!

Summary: New edition contains new Arizona area codes
Review: The current edition of The Arizona Guide, which is the second edition, contains the two new area codes, 480 and 623, that have recently been added to the central part of the state. When you dial an old area code you no longer get a referral to the new one, so it's especially important now to have an updated book with correct area codes.

Summary: Used it yet again!
Review: We recently returned from AZ and we used the Arizona Guide for the third time. It was great in helping us find places from just below "the rim" to the Mexican border. It is coherently written and organized - easy to stay with even for those of us who are just learning that wonderful state!

Summary: Arizona has more to explore than you ever imagined.
Review: When my husband, Bill Baker and I were asked by Fulcrum Publishing to write and photograph a guide to Arizona, we quickly decided it would not be a drab recitation of hotels, motels and places to eat. Rather, we'd make it a reflection of our favorite places, and our love for nature and the outdoors. We'd surely include the major features that any visitor to Arizona would expect to see, but we'd also reveal the hidden, secret spots that make this multifaceted state a delight to discover. From the Skywatchers Inn, where guests spend time at telescopes with a resident astronomer, to the Noftsger Hill Inn in Globe where classrooms are now guest rooms, and the original blackboards are scribbled with comments from previous guests, we've searched out the best of Arizona's secrets. If you want to explore a side of the state that even the locals miss, this is the book for you.
