Picked this up and got to meet Mr Naylor over the weekend in Prescott. Thoroughly enjoy his facts throughout this one!

This book is loaded with Arizona oddities and things to see. Naylor describes them in an entertaining and colorful way. I've been to many of the sites in here an Naylor may get a bit overly wistful and romanticize some of these a bit more than they deserve.
