Great Book For Relocating To Or Visiting Santa Fe November 6, 2009
The Footpath Cowboy (Kingston, NY United States)
THE INSIDERS' GUIDE TO SANTA FE, 5TH EDITION is a great book for people who are moving to or visiting Santa Fe, or are just interested in different places. It features lots of great ideas about recreation, dining, nightlife, shopping, and sightseeing, as well as telling people who might buy homes in the area about both the positive and negative issues concerning Santa Fe and its environs. The radio and TV station listings are fairly accurate, although things can change very quickly even in a small city such as Santa Fe. If you enjoy travel books, you'll enjoy this one.
A very useful guide to the "City Different" January 9, 2010
Robert C. Ross (New Jersey)
Santa Fe is a relatively small city and its key attractions are pretty much established, so that it is not absolutely necessary to buy a new guide every year -- a guide even a couple of years old is easily updated from materials freely available online or from the City adminstration by mail or at many locations in the City itself.
Nonetheless I really enjoy reading what people who live in or near Santa Fe emphasize in their guides, and I pick up a new one every year. The Insiders' Guide to Santa Fe, 5th edition by Nicky Leach is a great contender for current information, covering all of the highlights, and adding a personal interpretation that makes the writing come alive in a very satisfying way.
Leach has worked on at least three versions of this guide, in two earlier versions as part of a team and in this version as the major editor. She lives in a valley north of town, and clearly knows and loves the city. Her bio from her webpage gives you a bit of insight into some of the personal elements you can expect to find here, mixed in the solid information you need to enjoy Santa Fe:
"I am currently at work on a guidebook entitled Day Trips From Albuquerque: Getaway Ideas For the Local Traveler for The Globe Pequot Press, due to be published in May 2010. [My] Specialties include: US National Parks, travel, the history, geology, and sociology of the US West, nature essays, the environment, and self-help, but my interests are broad and I'm happy to consider many other topics.
"A lifelong advocate of complementary medicine, I have 1500 hours' training in biodynamic craniosacral therapy, Esalen massage, polarity, and other somatic therapies focused on stress relief and engaging the mind-body connection to improve health conditions."
If you are in the market for a good guidebook to Santa Fe, consider either this volume or Compass American Guides: Santa Fe, 5th Edition originally by Lawrence W. Cheek and seamlessly updated by Andrew Collins. Either guide will meet your needs beautifully.
