Fun coffee table book

This is a great conversation starter for visitors to MN and even people who've lived here all their lives. If you don't know what to do next weekend ... you'll find a fun idea here.

Weird Minnesota

great fun interesting material place that one would want to go and see that are off the beaten path

An offbeat travelogue

This is an enjoyable coffee-table style book about odd things, places, events and people in Minnesota. In comparision to some of the other books in the "Weird" series, I felt that this one was better because it contains many things that are significant cultural or historical icons to Minnesotans, instead of simply bizarre things or painted-up junk in people's backyards found in some of the other books in the "Weird" series. For example, entries include Paul Bunyan and Babe the Blue Ox in Bemidji, the Kensington Rune Stone in Alexandria, museums of questionable medical devices, etc., things that have a story behind them. This book would make a good travel guide for those inclined to spend some leisure time in the land of 10,000 Lakes.
