 Rating:  - A Tribute to Tony, not a ReviewTony Hillerman's novels swept through their readership every few years like a flash flood in the Four Corners. They weren't great literature.

This would have been fun to use as a reference as you read the Hillerman books to follow detectives Leaphorn & Chee travels thru Navajoland.

Although o.f most interest to Hillerman fans, I would carry the book on any western trip to Hillerman country, good descriptions of the country.

Now that i have read all of Hillerman's books, and am not traveling west any longer, I regret that this book was not available earlier. Recommend possession,fun to browse, even when ...

Rating: - AtmosphereThis book gives a wonderful, alive, feeling about the Hillerman stories. It puts the reader inside the scenes , and makes one understand the characters even better. It also makes you long to be there and visit those special places, and preserve them for all future readers.
