Compass American Guides: Santa Fe, 5th Edition… by Fodor's

I thought this book was a good guide when I went to Santa Fe recently. It is not as "busy" as other travel guides and reads more like a history/culture text than a travel guide. There are still recommendations for lodging and dining as well as maps, but there are also good paragraphs on history and culture. There are sections on pueblos, pottery, and shopping as well as travel to sites near Santa Fe. I enjoyed reading the book while on the road to get a better understanding of the area.
