Having grown up in Arizona, I can testify that there are a lot of really weird things and people in this state, and this book does a good job describing them. I've been to a number of the places they describe, and their descriptions are accurate. There were plenty of stories in there that I hadn't heard, and I've made it a point to visit some of the places in the book that I hadn't been to yet. It's a great book for anyone planning a trip to Arizona or someone who lives here but may have missed out on some of the great out-of-the-way places and interesting historical tidbits.
In general, I've noticed that books in this series include certain common sections, such as Local Legends, Bizarre Beasts, Local Heroes and Villains, Roads Less Traveled, and sections on ghosts, cemeteries, and abandoned places. In Weird Arizona, you get to read about people like infamous Old West outlaws (such as the man who was lynched yet had his death recorded as "emphysema" in spite of the picture that showed his lynch mob gathered around him) and eccentric sheriffs, past and present. There are ghost towns and Indian ruins. See the giant (wooden) baby playing with the tractor in the Roadside Oddities section. I expected to see The Thing listed under Roadside Oddities, but they put it under Bizarre Beasts instead. They don't actually describe The Thing itself under that section, but for anyone who's been there, the reasons are pretty obvious. The Thing is a roadside attraction/museum/gift shop well-known for advertising itself with numerous large, blue-and-yellow billboards.
