Handbook the best single guidebook to have Aug 09, 2000
By Lawrence Walker
"Coyote Guy"
As a bike tour leader in the Southwest, I used bought many Moon "handbooks" over the years, buying each new edition as it's published. Metzger's New Mexico Handbook is amongst the best, and if I were to carry only one guidebook with me, this would be it. The Handbook's main drawback is that it's accommodation and restaurant listings are not descriptive enough. To make most of my accommodation and restaurant choices, I go to the excellent Frommer's guides to New Mexico: New Mexico and Santa Fe, Taos, Albuquerque. With the Handbook and a Frommer's guide on hand, you'd have the best combination of guides there is. Plus, the Handbook has an excellent "booklist" at the back for further exploration.

 Slight mistake in one of the reviews Aug 19, 2002
By Stephen G. Metzger
As the author of this book, I feel compelled to respond to the reviewer from San Diego (May 29, 2002), who claimed that my Carlsbad research was poor, that I recommended White's City, which the locals call a "laughing stock," and that I failed to mention the Stevens Motel. One needn't look too closely at the book to see that I call White's City a "touristy and gimmicky souvenir stop" and do in fact recommend the Stevens Motel (though under accommodations, not under food). Both of these references are on page 194 of the current edition. Thank you.

 Not as good as other Moon handbooks. May 30, 2002
This is an OK all-around guidebook on New Mexico, its geography, and some of its history. Thank goodness, Moon wised up and included a full-color map of the state in the latest edition. However, the information for an area which I know quite well, Carlsbad, is poor--did the author actually check out his recommendations? For example: he recommends you stay (and eat) at White's City outside of town (a local laughingstock in some quarters); he makes no mention of the Stevens Motel, which is the most popular hotel and all-around restaurant (where even locals enjoy Sunday dinner); and no mention is made of some of the best day-trips. Inexplicably, the author felt compelled to quote some of the Santa Fe's nuclear-storage political views _twice_ in the course of the book. Contrast this with Don Pitcher's flawless Moon handbook for Wyoming.
