Guide to Ordering Regionally-Oriented Books

 

These books were chosen for their regionally-oriented subject matter, and links are provided for members (or others) who may wish to purchase copies. Many of the books are well-known, but some may not be. For simplicity’s sake, we have used links to Amazon.com for the seller, although if you notice from the links, you can often choose to purchase new or used copies for less from authorized resellers. If you prefer to use another seller, there are plenty of others out there, and most of these can be accessed and then easily be searched by book title. Two other popular online book sellers are Barnes & Noble and, especially for Southwest-subject books, UNM Press. If interest in this page grows and members contribute additions and suggestions, the page also should grow. Thanks for any input.

 

Note: This page is actually a “trial” page. It may become difficult to keep up with the links through Amazon.com. We’ll see.
