"Images of America: SEDONA"

After coming home from Arizona, I was still thinking about out brief visit to Sedona.  It is such a great, and historic little town.  It was a short visit, and it didn't satisfy my need.  Because of the weather and a couple of other factors, our visit was about half a day.  I need more Sedona in general.

So, I hunted down the "Images of America" volume on Sedona.  Janeen Trevillyan and Lisa Schnebly Heidinger (great-granddaughter of Sedona Schnebly), along with the staff of the Sedona Historical Society put this volume together.

It is a fairly standard "Images of America" entry- it's a quick read full of lots of pictures with descriptions of each one.  I especially enjoyed the chapters on the early days of the town, tourism, and movies made in Sedona.

Sedona is such a unique town, and I love everything about it- the art, the weirdness, the shops.  I have to admit though, I felt a little sad, as I read the book, and followed its transformation from a small town with farmers and ranchers, to the populated town, full of tourists that it is now.  I LOVE what it is now though.

I know it might be a while before I can get back to the area.  Reading this book satisfied a certain need for more info on the great location.
