A must-read for those familiar with Minnesota as well as those who want to be

You Know You're in Minnesota When . . . is an absolute must-read for those who are familiar -- whether intimately or just somewhat -- with Minnesota as well as those who'd like to be. It's wildly informational while being laugh-out-loud funny. Thorkelson's writing style is uniquely superb. Although she's lived, worked, and traveled all over the world, her love for her home state shines through to readers. While reading this book, lifetime Minnesotans will beam with pride, nod their heads knowingly, and giggle furiously; people who are just interested in learning more about the North Star State will get a thorough history lesson, a true taste of the Minnesotan culture, and a good rib-tickling. A great gift idea!
