Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From the Publisher
We've been Sam Cook fans for many years. So, naturally, we chose to publish a collection of Sam's most memorable columns as the first Pfeifer-Hamilton book. Up North arrived on November 19th of that first year and we sold 7,500 copies before Christmas--all in the Duluth area! Pfeifer-Hamilton was launched. Now, twelve years and five books later, we're still Sam Cook fans. Sam is not only a great writer, he's a first class person! We are proud to share his insights about life and the outdoors with you.

3.0 out of 5 stars
Quiet Magic,
This review is from: Quiet Magic (Hardcover)
Quiet Magic provides the reader with a real insight to what Nothern Minnesota and the Boundry Waters Canoe Area is like. Author Sam Cooks' writing style gives you a good mind set of what the wilderness is like up north here. If you are from a large city or down south this book may intigue you to take a vacation fishing up in the BWCA. My thoughts on this book are that it provides me a resident of the area that the author is writing about a eye opening experience to what beauty nature really provides for me. The book is writen in first person format, but it almost puts you in the scene with him giving you that feeling that I could be experiencing the same pleasure that Mr. Cook is. The book is easy reading and not very long and would recommend this book to just about anyone, weather your nich is outdoors or indoor.

This review is from: Quiet Magic (Outdoor Essays & Reflections) (Paperback)
An absolutely wonderful book of outdoor essays. Made me long for a trip to northern Minnesota to once again experience the wonders of a canoe trip in the Boundry Waters area.
