Reviews

[Judy]

There aren't any page numbers in this book, which makes it difficult to track images and thoughts I want to reference. The text and images are loosely connected. Sometimes, when I expected a photo, there wasn't one, and sometimes, when I needed an explanation, it didn't exist.

The aerial views of the various pueblos are beautiful; they capture a sense of place that I don't often see.

I've visited this country several times and I believe that each person takes away something different from the experience.

[Dawn Lofink]

A good visual guide to Tony Hillerman's work.

The photographs are beautiful and the text is fascinating. Loved it, even if the title is not very politically correct now.

[Els Willems]

Fan of all Hillerman’s Leaphorn and Chee series, his insight in Navajo/Diné and Pueblo cultures. Don’t expect action, these are character driven detectives.

[Steve]

Like the title says. Hillerman's novels are almost all set among the Diné (Navajo). This is a very handy guide for readers who want to enhance their experience of the books by learning about the land and the culture that serve as the backdrop for the stories.

Bloody heck! Do you now how much they want for this book USED??? Start at $154.99 and go up from there. Will be awhile before I get to see this book. Might have to make a pilgrimage out to the Four Corners area just to *see* the book.

Beautiful writing with beautiful pictures.
