Praise for Revenge of the Saguaro Originally published as Jack Ruby’s Kitchen Sink

Miller is a superb reporter and slyly funny stylist. This is a compulsively readable book by one of our best non-fiction writers.

—San Francisco Chronicle

Residents, potential visitors, and armchair travelers alike will be captivated by Miller’s informative and often humorous book, in which the romance and reality of the Southwest are intermingled within a fine narrative.

—Library Journal

A great book to have if you’re planning a leisurely trip through America’s vast Southwest. If you enjoy travel books that give you the real skinny about places, people and local curiousities, this book is guaranteed to delight and entertain. Revenge of the Saguaro is the perfect antidote to anything that Fodor’s ever published.

—BookBrowser

…a perverse love letter to the Southwest—land of jaw-dropping natural beauty and rusted-out Chevys, a land that reflects both the sublime and the ridiculous in our culture at large.

—Citation from the Society of American Travel Writers Foundation, Lowell Thomas Gold Award for Best Travel Book of 2000

Tom Miller has brought the region to life in his own special way. He helps us all see beyond the ancient pulp fictions to the dailiness of life in that American place and in doing so, he adds to its reality and magic. We should all thank him.

—Pete Hamill, from his foreword
