The Four Corners - where Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, and Utah come together - is itself a desolate place simply consisting of a large marker surrounded by a number of native American vendors. The predominant nearby attraction is Monument Valley, about 60 miles away. Bryant, however, provides just a few photos of that area, and instead goes hundreds of miles further, including eg. photos from the Flagstaff, AZ. area and the Grand Canyon - omitting much closer Antelope Canyon and Horseshoe Bend (Page, AZ.), Natural Bridges National Monument (Utah), etc. Also, there was too much printed material, and not enough photos, and NO photo of the Four Corners Monument.

The Four Corners, Timeless Lands of the Southwest is another visually perfect offering by Northland Publishing in their travel series. Having lived in Northern Arizona and made several pilgrimages to the Four Corners area, I have always felt that no book could ever capture the intensity and energy that comes from this amazing real estate. I am delighted to share that this book does just that. The photography is breathtaking and it will haunt you into visiting there. Author, Kathleen Bryant, gives the reader a diverse sampling of the four corners areas as well as the culture, arts and flavor of all that call this special landscape home; truly as the subtitle states, "A Visual Tour of Hopi and Navajo Homelands." This softbound, coffee table size book is most affordable at under $10.00 and you will want to keep it within easy reach when you want to escape to this wonderous place.
