Arizona & Southwest Books

Regional history and local-interest books rarely get reprinted, so the used market is the only market. Arizona and Southwest titles sourced from Phoenix-area thrift shelves: territorial and mining history, Native American art and culture, Grand Canyon and Sonoran Desert natural history, ghost town guides, Route 66, Western art monographs, trail guides, and small-press local histories from Sun City to Tucson.

Every listing shows the Amazon used comp and is priced well under it. Publisher, year, and printing are in the title, since many of these were issued by university presses and historical societies in small runs.

Condition is graded Very Good, Good, or Acceptable with photos of the actual copy. Ships Media Mail within one business day; local Phoenix pickup is available on request. Scarce titles occasionally run as $1-start auctions at the top of this page.
