 Hillerman's Landscape July 17, 2010

This is a beautiful complement to my collection of Tony Hillerman books. It is marvelous to be able to see the landscapes via the camera's eye, other than via my mind's eye. Every Hillerman fan should own this book.

TONY HILLERMAN'S DAUGHTER AND SON-IN-LAW COMPLETED A BOOK THAT SHARES SO MUCH OF WHAT HILLERMAN WAS ABOUT. TRULY AWESOME SCENERY, NATIVE AMERICAN LIVES AND LORE TREATED WITH RESPECT, AND TIDBITS FROM HILLERMAN'S LIFE THAT MAKE ME WANT TO READ MORE ABOUT HIM. IF YOU HAVEN'T READ THE LEAPHORN AND CHEE MYSTERIES READ THIS, THIS BOOK WILL LEAD YOU ON INTO THE FULL STORIES WITH THEIR TWISTS AND TURNS AND WONDERS.

I have read all of Tony Hillerman's books both fiction and nonfiction. I have never read one that I didn't thoroughly enjoy. I especially enjoyed the Chee & Leaphorn books. This book authored by Mr. Hillerman's daughter with photographs by his son-in-law brought most of the places described by Mr. Hillerman in his books to life and is a great tribute to a great author. I will miss Chee and Leaphorn and Tony Hillerman
Tony Hillerman's Landscape is a must for any fan of Hillerman February 7, 2010

Even if you weren't brought to tears upon hearing about Tony Hillerman's death, this book is a worthy companion to his novels. His daughter's writing and her husband's photography really bring to life the world that made up the background for Hillerman's stories. It also touches upon how his life unfolded to give us Jim Chee and Joe Leaphorn.
My only complaint is that the printing really has a strong smell, but that goes away over time if left out to air. I still would have purchased this book even if I had been able to smell it first! For us, it's a good tribute to Tony's life and work and makes our heartache over his loss more bearable.

As a devoted fan of the Leaphorn/Chee works of Tony Hillerman,I was pleasantly surprised with this work.The photography was excellent and one could almost feel the presence of the "Legendary" Joe Leaphorn and Jim Chee pervading the book.I suppose the only thing better than this would be someone discovering a hidden stash of Leaphorn/Chee work crammed in a footlocker.
