I worked on Mackinac Island for two summers- it is such a special place and a must to visit! This book is excellent-it gives you all the info you need on how to get there, what do do, where to stay, and all the little details you need to know ahead of time. For instance, she lists prices of all the places to stay, bike rental costs, ferry costs, ect. I havent been back to Mackinac Island in 6 years and Im so glad I got this book to help me plan my trip. I cant beleive I stayed away so long!

I've been to THE island twice now and am preparing for my third trip. But I wish I'd read this book before the first trip, for I'd have had a better time.

The book is short, yet chock-full of interesting and useful information concerning almost everything and anything a person would want to know about the magical place called Mackinac Island.

I cannot recommend this book highly enough! Keep up the good work in future editions, Ms. McVeigh.

What I liked most about Mackinac Connection was the feeling that the author was sharing her personal favorites about the island - where to go, what to do, how much it would cost, etc. Mackinac Island came to life and made me want to go right away. The book is full of practical information and is an easy read. I read it in a few hours. And then started making plans to go there and visit.

I've been to Mackinac Island many many times before purchasing this book. I'd always felt as if I was missing so much of the Island - I WAS RIGHT! After I purchased this book - I was amazed at how much the Island has to offer that'd I'd been missing!

A wonderful guide to the do's and don'ts of visiting Mackinac Island. Not only does it tell all of the "fudgies" out there about the great spots on the island, it all trains you how not to look like a dork while visiting - or looking like the traditional tourist. You'll really enjoy this book and its easy-to-read (almost elementary) style. It would have been nice to have more detail on particular exhibits that have been there for a long time - but you can't have everything. I highly recommend this book because it's one of the only ones out there that are decent.

I almost didn't buy this book because the cover looked kind of cheesey. I'm glad I did. Tons of information about how to get there and where to stay and what to do once you're there. I'll be taking this book with me when we visit the island in September.

I purchased Mackinac Connection through Amazon as a gift for someone else. The
book was shipped immediately and packaged so it arrived in excellent condition.
