1. Great book -- I hope they write one for the upper part of Lower Michigan.

1 comments about Hidden Michigan (Hidden States) (Hidden States).

1. Hidden Michigan was just selected as an Official State of Michigan Children's Book--its by the same author/illustrator combination that did Has Anyone Seen Christmas? (not only was this a great book, it was a great float in America's Thanksgiving Day Parade last year). Their work, with Detroit Free Press writer Janis Campbell makes this one of, if not the, best children's book I've seen for our great state. Its fun for kids, it teaches them about our state, its unique, the illustrations are incredible--and parents and grandparents and teachers will love it, too.
   It is well worthy of it selection as a State Children's Book.

1 comments about Traveling Through Time: A Guide to Michigan's Historical Markers.

1. History and architecture buffs will be pleased with the new, updated version of this guidebook to Michigan's state historical markers. Easy to use and arranged alphabetically by county, this guide now focuses more on buildings than on people and events according to the editor Laura Ashlee. Its range is wide, from early Potawatomi sites to a World War II bomber plant, with examples of Greek Revival, Gothic, Queen Anne, and Frank Lloyd Wright houses in between. It also covers a range of buildings types including houses, schools, churches, factories, water towers,cemeteries, hospitals and universities. It also covers the fascinating history of Michigan, from the early French settlements to the development of the auto industry.Happy travels!

5 comments about Lighthouses of Lake Michigan: Past and Present.

1. I own almost every book ever written about Great Lakes lighthouses and this is the best one yet. It has a brief history of all the present Lake Michigan lighthouses, along with color pictures and directions to get there. In addition, many lighthouses are shown in historical pictures from the National Archives, US Coast Guard files, or the authors own postcard collection. Long-gone lighthouse are also remembered and pictured when possible. I hope this is a first in series covering all the Great Lakes. If you have this book, you don't need any other about Lake Michigan lighthouses.



2. There has never been a more complete, well written, accurate
   and better illustrated book on Lake Michigan lighthouses.

   Pictures of existing and long-gone lighthouses are beautiful,
   and frankly my wife and I can't put it down.

   This is a must have.




3. I thought the author did a wonderful job on this book. I hope he someday does the rest of the great lakes of Michigan the same way. It has been a pleasure to read. Plus it makes a great gift.



4. This book is fantastic. It gives you great information about the history of each of the lighthouses around Lake Michigan and reasons why some may have changed over the years. The pictures are great! It is also one of the few books that I have come across that is so complete. I also like how he included the status of each light and how to access it. I hope the author does another book like this about Lake Superior.



5. I purchased SEVERAL other books. However, I really ONLY NEEDED THIS ONE. It is BY FAR the best of the other books on Lake Michigan I got.
   DON'T purchase any others YOU WON'T NEED THEM and will save money on getting JUST THIS ONE.
   It has COLOR PHOTOS OF ALL THE LIGHTS, HISTORY, LOCATION MAPS AND WRITTEN DETAILS DIRECTIONS on how to get to each light. It also has a list on the ones with: museum's, hauntings, Tower access, catwalks and MORE!
   WHAT A BOOK, WHAT AN AUTHOR.
   Please, please please do write more of these books ON ALL THE LIGHTS OF THE USA!

1 comments about Above West Michigan: Aerial Photography of West Michigan.

1. Since lower Michigan is rather flat, it's sometimes hard to appreciate the vast beauty of the scenery. This book has many high quality photos showing the beautiful Lake Michigan shoreline, fall foilage, dunes, and ice flows.

1 comments about Fish Ohio: 100 Ohio Lakes (Fish Michigan).

1. This is an excellent reference for any fisherman or outdoor enthusiast who lives in or visits Ohio. While most information is general, many useful facts are provided concerning camping, fishing, boating, and other things. It's very good for planning a weekend trip, or looking for new wilderness areas to explore.
