Not What I Thought,
This review is from: Michigan 24/7 (Hardcover)
I bought this book because I thought it would be pictures of the outdoors. Pictures of Lighthouses, waterfalls, the Soo Locks, the bridges up north, and of course the great lakes. There are maybe 10 pictures of these things and the rest are of people hanging out doing diffrent things. So if your looking for a book with great things Michigan has to offer this one is not it.

MAJOR DISAPPOINTMENT,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Michigan 24/7 (Hardcover)
IF YOU'RE LOOKING FOR A BOOK THAT TELLS YOU ALL ABOUT THE STATE THIS ISN'T IT. WHAT YOU GET HERE ARE PICTURES OF UNINTERESTING PEOPLE WHO COULD BE FROM ANY STATE OF THE UNION AND NOTHING UNIQUE TO MICHIGAN.A FEW PHOTOS OF STATE AREAS ARE HERE BUT NOT ENOUGH TO MAKE THE BOOK WORTHWHILE.
