Customer Reviews

wonderful quality and service on a rare book

Wonderful quality and service on a hard to find book which sells for much, much more on other sites

Fantastic

Gorgeous pictures to go along with a wonderful book. You can tell that Tony Hillerman really belonged in this part of the country. If you enjoy his work, I highly recommend this book and also the book "Seldom Disappointed."

The Southwest

This is the latest of the books that I have read by Tony Hillerman. While writing entertaining fictional storys, his addition of real places makes them very believable. My next project is to visit these places using this book as my guide.

"Behind him above the dark red sandstone wall of the mesa,..."

"...a skyscape of feathery cirrus clouds stretched southward toward Mexico. To the west over the Painted Desert, they were flushed with the afterglow of sunset" From `Dance Hall of the Dead" At a book signing in Ft. Worth to benefit a homeless shelter, Tony Hillerman expressed how much fun it was to make this book with his brother Barney. This book contains 200 spectacular pictures from all over Hillerman country. Many pages are picture only with the caption on the page prior or after. The text among the pictures is a combination of history and exerts from Hillerman novels. Now when you read the novels these pictures will come to mind. Re3ading this book and looking at the pictures will make you homesick even if you have never been there.
