Author advises, don't buy old (2001) guidebook!

Since our book has been delayed, many people seem desperate for the old one. But too much has changed, even in the Upper Peninsula, to make it very useful. These high prices are not ours! I don't think an out-of-date guidebook is even worth $20, its original price. A new edition of "Hunts' Guide to Michigan's Upper Peninsula," completely revised, is coming out sometime this spring. It is the book to get! Editorially, it covers the same material as the old book -- probably more. The new edition will be smaller (6" by 9") but fatter. Easier to shelve. Meanwhile, much of the book's content is on our web site, hunts-upguide.com. Be aware that it is not always up to date. Gradually new material will be added, with the date at the end. As always, no one pays to be in our book or on our site. The Upper Peninsula is a wonderful, little known place for vacations and getaways, rich in natural beauty and in history -- great for families -- and relatively quite inexpensive, too. U.P. reading tip: People familiar with the Upper Peninsula and its weather may well enjoy "So Cold a Sky: Upper Michigan Weather Stories" by Karl Bohnak, weather forecaster at TV 6 in Marquette/Neguanee. Weather has played such an important role in U.P. history, and Karl combines meterology and history in a fascinating way.

All travel guides should be written like this.

Frommer's, Lonely Planet, Fodor's and Baedeker's take note: This is one excellent travel guide! More than hotels, motels, watering holes and restaurants, "Hunts' Guide to Michigan's Upper Peninsula" goes where other guides don't: into the hidden crevices of a community to ferret out little-known facts.The Hunts help you find local color as well as food and lodging. This book is for the traveler who is tired of the usual- or for anyone who goes to the U.P. for day trips and getaway weekends.. This is not a standard guidebook. It's quirky and interesting - and reads like a good magazine feature story. How about we send the Hunts to San Francisco or New Orleans or Savannah - to get the real scoop on those wonderful destinations?

Excellent Resource!

This book is a "must-have" for anyone who wants to get the most out of any trip to the Upper Peninsula. After dozens of visits to the U.P., I had thought I'd pretty much covered it all... until I picked up this book. The Hunt's have apparently combed through every nook and cranny of the U.P. and present everything a visitor would need to know! Much reccommended!

Outstanding Handbook for UP travels

This is an outstanding reference for exploring the UP. It is fun to read, it is accurate, and it has an extremely diverse mix of things to do from waterfalls, old mines, neat restaurants including descriptions of the things on the menu, ghost towns, scienc sites, historic sites, to so much more. It is absolutely esstential to fully appreciate all the wonderfull things the UP has to offer. Without this guide, I guarantee you will not get the most out of your UP experience.

One of best travel guides I've ever used

The Hunts guide really enhanced my enjoyment of a two-week bike trip through the area. It helped me find local eateries, roadside attractions, and clean, independent, motels. Author was right on with every one of recommendations; turned me on to little roadside gems. I recommend this book for anyone who is into roadside culture. I wish there was a Hunt's guide for everywhere that I bicycle. Thank you, thank you.
