Arizona in Your Future: The Complete Relocation Guide for Job-Seekers, Retirees, and Snowbirds

I live in Arizona. I moved here in March of 2000, and before I moved in, I got a copy of this book, after having researched all the options in a bookstore. The good thing about the book is that it's an extremely valuable resource BEFORE you move in, and even if you're only considering whether to move to AZ. It gives you tons of figures and tips, ranging from how to deal with the desert weather, to how the state's "lemon law" works, just to name a couple of them.The downside to the book, though, is the date in which it was edited: 1998. Since then (it's been three years now) lots of things have changed: area codes, population, some laws, etc. If you're looking for a state guide to use for tourism purposes, or as a daily reference guide, look elsewhere (I'd recommend Frommer's guide -it's truly complete and up-to-date).

This is a complete relocation guide for job-seekers, retirees and snowbirds. It is straightforward and factual and will tell you everything you wanted to know about the Grand Canyon State without advertising hype.The first section is packed with details about Arizona life, including history, weather, government & taxes, schools, and retirement communities. A great feature is the hundreds of contact addresses for more info.Then Arizona's very distinct and different regions are discussed. For each area the major cities and towns are profiled with climate, economic and recreational details. There are top 10 lists for the best locations for various needs.This is an essential book for anyone seriously considering a move. It is a no-nonsense guide packed with useful information and it will surely pay for itself many times over.

Moving from NJ to AZ, I had may questions. this books is a great resoource & guide to help you along. Gives governtment contacts as well as leads for employment & sample resumes. Highlights the towns and area. Great info would reccommend!
