5.0 out of 5 stars This is a great book!!, July 12, 2004

This review is from: Michigan Off the Beaten Path, 7th: A Guide to Unique Places (Paperback)

This book was not intended to show tourists all of Michigan's wonderful attractions, such as the Mackinaw Bridge, Mackinaw Island, etc.(That is why those attractions are not listed in it). This book tells us about all of the "HIDDEN TREASURES" in Michigan. The treasures that one would find if they went down the back roads. This book is excellent. You will not be disappointed. Read the book, pack up your kids, pack some lunches, and go enjoy yourselves by visiting our "hidden" Michigan.

This review is from: Michigan Off the Beaten Path, 7th: A Guide to Unique Places (Paperback)

The jawdropping number of misspelled streets and towns in this book could form a book of it's own. There were also far too many attractions, restaurants, hotels, exhibits, etc; that have been closed for more than eight years that were included. I had hoped to give this book to relatives just moving back to "The Mitten State" after having lived in the Pacific Northwest for 40+ years. If I had given the book to them before reading it myself to point out favorites they'd be driving in circles and wasting oodles of gas. This book was a "tosser".
