I bought this because I'm making my first visit to my friend Edith in Tucson in December. It has lots of pictures but more words about what there is to do and see, down to the tiny snippets of towns or used to be towns, assorted festival dates and locations. I figure since I am not looking for hotels or tours, and the Library friends had it for a quarter, I would study up. It hasn't disappointed me. Ghost towns don't move.

This book was extremely helpful in planning our vacation. The descriptions of places to see helped us in planning our itinerary. We tried a bed & breakfast for the first time because of the description we read here and it was fantastic.

Gearing up for our trip, I'm kind of obsessed with Frommer's guides.

Frommer's guides (like any other guide) are more useful when they are for one city as opposed to a whole state as they can be more detailed but it was still helpful.
