Customer Reviews

A great introduction to the curiosities of Michigan

Colleen Burcar has done a wonderful job of bringing the uniqueness and richness of Michigan to life in this book. She takes us on a statewide tour of places and people many of us would never know existed. What's more, she adds a lot of humor to her descriptions. Some of her quips are groaners, but they're more than made up for by the numerous humorous asides.This book is an invaluable tool for the person who would like to explore Michigan in a more intimate way.
