This booklet was available in truck stops and curio shops around the Southwest in the 1990s, which is where I picked it up. It's a fun read, telling a few short legends about Kokopelli and mentioning various depictions in rock art. It has far more pictures than texts, many of them taken from

nineteenth century sources. But unfortunately the booklet has no organizing principle. Also, virtually everything it talks about is presented in a very sketchy, general manner. The booklet describes nothing in depth. One plus, though, is the bibliography, which allows an interested reader to delve deeper. This book is a fun 20 minutes reading, but I would have preferred a more substantial work.
