Love the section near the front door which features paperback/hard cover books and audiobooks for sale, most of them less than 2 bucks! Bought Patricia Cromwell and Amy Tan novels and discovered an excellent copy of the Day of the Trifids audiobook. My father-in-law also bought some books of his favorite authors. The place is nice and cool in the summer (the central a/c was heavenly) and they have a roaring fire in the gas fireplace in the winter. They also have a bank of computers for internet surfing and an adorable kids library. This is easily my favorite place in Show Low!

This is truly, a hidden gem! You cannot access this petroglyph site and area on your own. You need…read moreto make a reservation in advance, with the tour guide for the City of Holbrook. More information is available on the City of Holbrook website under "parks". Currently, the tour guide is Darlene, a Rock Symbols Researcher, and she can be reached at 928-241-1324. She is fundamental in the preservation of this site. I met Darlene at the golf course clubhouse, which is at the end of Gold Course Rd. There you sign a waiver, and the fee for the tour is $25 cash per person. Make sure you have cash with you, as there is not an ATM on site. The city of Holbrook website does not explain a lot of this, so, when you speak with your tour guide, make sure all of your questions are answered prior to your visit. From the golf course, you follow Darlene in your vehicle on dirt roads, so a vehicle that's possible on a fairly decent dirt road, is needed. These roads do have locked gates, so do not try to access on your own. If you have time, she will take you around the birding pond, and then to the petroglyph site. For the petroglyph site, make sure you are wearing decent hiking boots/shoes, as the trails are challenging with rock-climbing, and pants, as there are shrubs that can scratch you. Also, wear sunscreen, bring an adequate amount of water, a snack, some TP or a napkin in case you need to pee pee, and I would recommend a hat and binoculars, as some of the glyphs are up high. Many of these Anasazi glyphs are in wonderful shape and from different time periods. My tour guide, Darlene, was just amazing in pointing out the glyphs, describing what they possibly mean, and the history of the property. Darlene also spoke of her documentation of these glyphs, as well as others, as there is really no way to preserve them. There is very little vandalism at this site, which is a plus! My experience on this Earth Day, was so educational, peaceful, and truly enjoyable! The Anasazi had it right, leave no footprint behind unless they're petroglyphs!

We are full time travelers so we visit libraries in different places. Payson Library is very…read morepretty, has lots of books, and a nice bookstore where I bought books for .25. However, I can only give three stars because it's one of the noisiest libraries I've been in. The librarians hold conversations (not just about books) with patrons at full volume. Constantly. And patrons seem to take the cue as well--loud talking and laughing. We're grateful for the library but would have appreciated more quiet.

Clean, inviting entrance, good parking, well laid out, quiet. The staff seemed friendly.read more

What a cool park!…read more We have a lifetime parks pass, so it's been great to be able to explore when we can. We spent about 1/2 day here - drove to many of the overlooks for some very cool views. Followed someone recommendation to hike the Blue Mesa and truly felt like we were walking on the moon. Very cool colors and petrified logs lying around. It's about a mile; so quite a short hike but you are 'up close and personal' with nature. Take the time to walk thru the museum at the Inn (there's also clean restrooms here and an ice cream shop). They've done a great job preserving the original furniture and such. The parking lots at many of the stops had several spots for RV's and could accommodate towing as well. Clean restrooms thru out the park too A tip would be to hike in the morning as the afternoons can get pretty toasty and windy

I am a big fan of national parks and am also a big fan of keeping them fully budgeted and staffed…read more If you have ever been to a national park, you know that they get a ton of visitors from other countries. These foreign folks love our national parks for good reason. Americans should also appreciate them. Now, this is probably not one of the "must do" national parks. It is not a Yosemite or a Yellowstone. There is no camping here and much of the park is entirely experienced by driving around in your car. There are a few hiking spots, some better than others. There are two entrances and there is only one road between them. It is impossible to get lost, although there are a few turnoffs. You drive from one entrance to the other and then you are done. Apparently, some people drive through the park, never leave their car, and spend about an hour in total here. It seems crazy to me to visit a national park in one hour and I do not recommend it. Do one or more of the hikes. Get out and experience a few of the overlooks. The Blue Mesa portion of the park is incredible. That was probably the highlight of the park for me. The color of the hills is just surreal. It is like you landed on Mars. You will, of course, see petrified (or "fossilized") wood here. It is multi-colored beautiful stuff. The visitor center on the north end is much better than the one at the south end. There is a cafe at the north visitor center, better souvenirs, and also the Painted Desert Inn where you can experience a bit of history from about a 100 years ago. Spend some time here whether you are just entering the park or leaving it. I would plan on spending about three or four hours here, especially if you do at least one good hike and stop at most of the overlooks. If you did all the hikes and all the overlooks and bring a lunch (there are no picnic or lunch areas, by the way), you could probably spend the entire day here. Half a day, including one long hike, was fine for us and I feel like we saw all of the highlights. I hate to give any area of land less than 5 stars through no fault of its own but this is not one of the more spectacular national parks in the country. But if you are in the area, it is worth a visit.

I would like to express my deepest and most heartfelt gratitude to White Mtn Books…read more The Bible I purchased from you -- **"New Open Bible Study Ed NASB 1990 1st Genuine Handcrafted Leather USA 1979BG"** -- was far more than simply a book to me. It was the return of something I had loved, treasured, and deeply missed for many years. I originally purchased this same Bible in 1993. For many years, it was my primary Bible for study and became one of the most treasured possessions in my life. I spent countless hours reading and studying its pages, and through this Bible I received so much spiritual encouragement, wisdom, strength, and understanding of God's Word. It accompanied me through many seasons of my life and played an important part in my spiritual growth and my walk with God. About five or six years ago, I lost it. I searched for another copy in many different places, hoping that somehow I might find the same edition again. But no matter how much I searched, I could not find one. As the years passed, I began to think that perhaps I would never have this Bible again. Then, about three weeks ago, with the help of ChatGPT, I found your listing on eBay. When I first saw it, I could hardly believe what I was looking at. After searching for so many years, there it was -- the Bible that had meant so much to me. For someone else, it might simply have been an older Bible for sale. But for me, finding it again felt like an answer to a prayer that had remained quietly in my heart for years. I truly felt that God had heard that prayer and had allowed something I thought was lost forever to find its way back to me. And then the package arrived even sooner than I expected. The moment I opened it and held that Bible in my hands again is something I will never forget. It is difficult to describe the emotion I felt. So many memories came back to me -- years of studying Scripture, praying, learning, growing in faith, and experiencing God's grace through His Word. Holding this Bible again after so many years filled my heart with joy and gratitude. It was one of those rare moments in life when something seemingly small becomes deeply meaningful. To me, it felt like a very personal gift from God -- even a small miracle. That is what makes what happened next especially difficult for me. I recently lost the job where I had worked for the past ten years, and I am currently going through a financially difficult season. At this point in my life, I have to be very careful with every expense and save wherever I possibly can. Because of that, after much thought, I made the painful decision to return the Bible. I want you to know that returning it had absolutely nothing to do with White Mtn Books, the condition of the Bible, or my satisfaction with the purchase. In fact, it was exactly the opposite. I loved it. I was deeply grateful to have found it. And I sincerely wish that my present circumstances had allowed me to keep it. Sending it back was genuinely difficult for me because, for that brief time, I was able to hold in my hands again something that had been part of my spiritual life for so many years. That is also why I did not want this transaction to end with simply a return. I wanted you to know what this Bible meant to the person who purchased it from you. Thank you, White Mtn Books, for preserving this Bible and making it available. Thank you for the care you put into your business, for your excellent service, and for shipping it to me so quickly. You may have thought you were simply sending an old Bible to a customer. But what arrived at my home was much more than that. For a brief and precious time, you gave me the opportunity to hold again something I had loved, learned from, prayed over, and thought I had lost forever. For that, I will always be grateful. Although my financial circumstances did not allow me to keep this treasured Bible, I sincerely hope that it will eventually find its way into the hands of someone who will cherish it, study it, and be blessed through it just as I was for so many years. And most of all, I want to leave White Mtn Books with my sincere blessing and prayer. **May God richly bless White Mtn Books, its owners, its staff, and your families. May He bless the work of your hands and prosper your business. May He continue to use your bookstore to place meaningful books into the hands of people who need them, sometimes in ways you may never even know.** **May your business continue to grow and flourish, and may God's grace, provision, protection, favor, and abundant blessings be upon White Mtn Books and your families for many years to come.** From the bottom of my heart, thank you for allowing me to experience something I never thought I would experience again. I will never forget the moment I held this Bible in my hands again. **Thank you, White Mtn Books.** **May God bless you abundantly.**
