This is an okay guide to Arizona & the Grand Canyon. It covers the basics and gives a good sense of the area. My biggest complaint is in the Grand Canyon section. Under "Tips for Avoiding Grand Canyon Crowds" (p.157) the first thing listed is "to bypass Grand Canyon National Park altogether". The book suggests visiting the area west of GCNP in the tribal lands owned by the Hualapai & Havasupai. While I appreciate the thought skipping the park is not a suggestion to avoiding crowds at the park. That's like saying "Wanna avoid the line at Disneyland for Pirates of the Caribbean? Don't ride it". It's not advice and I expect more from a Fodor's book.
I also will be doing much more research into Phoenix. I don't feel like the book covered it enough, though I did learn why the city was named Phoenix . . .

An easy pack into the bags to Phoenix. Pull out map was great on the drive to and into the Grand Canyon. Restaurant recommendations were true and fair. Matts Big Breakfast pancake was thumbs up. The Apache trail was something I would not have done without the book and was the highlight of out short trip. I can say the trip wouldn't have been nearly as good without the Fodor's!
