Arizona Books

I'm lucky, I live in Arizona. My family lives in the UK and visited a couple of years ago. I was looking for a gift and wanted to send something from Arizona (as opposed to something generic). This book was my choice. There are many guides and picture books of the state, but this one captures the real beuaty that is Arizona. The photographs are clear and bright and the text is easy is to read and it all makes sense. Books like these are never cheap, but it's definitly something to own if you like Arizona.

Fantastic review of the origins of all the place names in Arizona. Detailed, but with anecdotes from history to give life to the state. Great maps make finding everything easy. This books must have taken years to compile. If Arizona history interests you get this book.

This is an awesome tool to have for anyone studying real estate in Arizona. I figured with the market as slow as it has been, now would be a good time to get into real estate. As it always does, the market will pick back up, hopefully, soon. The information in this book is invaluable. It covers everything very thoroughly. It's right on point. I like it because it doesn't cover a broad range of states, where you have to figure out which area applies to yours, it just covers Arizona and it's requirements to pass the real estate exam. It provides study help tools and great practice questions and exam's. A definite must for anyone studying to get their real estate license in AZ. I highly recommend it

The one book you have to have if you practice in AZ. MAKE SURE you get the CD with the 2 volume set. And you usually can get it MUCH cheaper on Amazon than thru the State Bar.

The Arizona Rangers were a special force created to assist jurisdictional lawmen at the time when outlaws and criminals outnumbered lawmen in the Arizona Territory. They served from 1901 to 1909.
This book is excellent written and completed with several pictures.
It is a must have for everyone, who is interested in the old west history of the grand canyon state Arizona. It is the Story of the three AZ Ranger Captains BURTON C. MOSSMAN, THOMAS H. RYNNING and HARRY C. WHEELER and those men who helped to pave the way to statehood.

Western historian Jane Eppinga presents Arizona Sheriffs: Badges and Bad Men, a rousing history of how Arizona's law enforcement personnel have combated crime from the 1880s to the 1990s. Illustrated with occasional vintage black-and-white photographs of real-life Western lawmen, Arizona Sheriffs covers historical events such as the Pleasant Valley War, the sheriff as executioner, manhunts then and now, the connection between rodeo and lawmen, sheriffs who became corrupt, and much more. Written for readers of all backgrounds, Arizona Sheriffs is an exciting slice of Arizona state history, especially recommended for public library collections and American West history shelves.

Have you ever wondered what your hometown will look like 100 years from now, long after you are gone? Allen Dutton and Diane Bunting have offered this gift to Arizonans. As a native Arizonan, I have always been enamored of the Old West Arizona. Dutton and Bunting obtained photographs of many Arizona communities from the 19th century, and returned to set their tripod on the exact same place 100 years later. The results are startling. Some towns have become ghosts of their previous glory, while others have thrived beyond recognition. Still others remain relatively untouched by time.

I should comment on the remarkable quality of the photography. Dutton and Bunting used an 8 x 10 format, which make the landscape scenes come alive in black and white. Their technical mastery is evident in their work.

This work is a fascinating coffee table book, and a must for any Arizonan! Old west buffs will enjoy it too.

Good all around trail guide. Includes accurate GPS coordinates. Trail ratings are ok. The trip odometer settings are great if you don't have a GPS.
