Leopold is delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. The aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature, and our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. The contents of the vast majority of titles in the Classic Library have been scanned from the original works. To ensure a high quality product, each title has been meticulously hand curated by our staff. This means that we have checked every single page in every title, making it highly unlikely that any material imperfections – such as poor picture quality, blurred or missing text - remain. When our staff observed such imperfections in the original work, these have either been repaired, or the title has been excluded from the Leopold Classic Library catalogue. As part of our on-going commitment to delivering value to the reader, within the book we have also provided you with a link to a website, where you may download a digital version of this work for free. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with a book that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work.

A stranger on first entering Arizona is impressed with the newness and wildness that surrounds him. Indeed, the change is so great that it seems like going to sleep and waking up in a new world. Everything that he sees is different from the familiar objects of his home, and he is filled with wonder and amazement at the many curious things that are brought to his notice. Judging the country by what is common back east, the average man is disappointed and prejudiced against what he sees; but, estimated on its merits, it is found to be a land of many attractions and great possibilities.

Oakland, Cal., Jan. 5th, 1901. J. A. MuNK, M. D., Los A ngeles, Cal. My Dear Doctor: I have just received your Bibliography of Arizona books and observe that it constitutes an extensive field of literature. Probably you have the largest collection of such books in the world, at least the largest private collection. You ought, it seems to me, to have written a preface or introduction to the list setting forth your aim in publishing the pamphlet and giving your experiences and trials in making the collection. I do not doubt but what it would have been interesting reading for the public and would have made the Bibliography more precious to many of its recipients. I thank you for my copy and prize it highly, not because I am so much interested in the subject it is devoted to, as to the fact that I have for a long time been cognizant of your hobby and have sympathized with you in your efforts; and, also, because I have enjoyed reading your articles on Arizona which have appeared in our Journal at various times. Fraternally, H. T. Webster. The above letter written by Dr. Webster, as well as letters of similar import that were received from other friends, decided me to give in a prefatory note to the second edition of my Arizona Bibliography, an account of the beginning and growth of my Arizona Library. My first visit to Arizona occurred in the spring of 1884 and was for the double purpose of taking a needed vacation and to inspect our cattle ranch, which my brother. Judge Munk, had established the previous year in Railroad Pass in Southeastern A rizona. I was delighted with the trip and was very favorably impressed with the country and climate. I ndeed, I became so much interested in what I said that ly QjX it wanted to know what had been written and printed in books about that strange land.

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
