"This is an excellent interesting book about Michigan. I got
this book for my personal enjoyment. I liked this book because I
learned some new information about Michigan that I did not know
before reading this book. Some of the interesting information that
is mentioned in this book includes the following interesting
information: Battle Creek, Michigan was once home to 80 cereal
companies. Daniel Frank Gerber founded Gerber's Baby Food. Domino's
Pizza and Little Caesar's Pizza started out in Michigan. The name
Michigan came from the Native Americans from a word which
translates to large water or large lake. Michigan is bordered by
four out of five of the Great Lakes. No matter where a person is
standing in the state of Michigan, that particular person will
never be further than 85 miles from one of the Great Lakes that
border the state of Michigan. Michigan is the only place in the
world that has a floating post office. It is on the JW Westcott II
vessel which is located on the Detroit River. Google co-founder
Larry Page was born in East Lansing, MI. In the past American Top
40 radio show host Casey Kasem was born in Detroit. His real first
name was Kemal. Singer Madonna was born in Bay City, MI. Michigan
is home to five National Parks." by William

"This is another one of this author's state trivia books. The book
starts off with how the state was named, and then goes on describe
early events and people in the state. The second part of the book
goes into state culture, and how there are famous
entertainers/people are from the state. The third part of the book
talks about inventions credited to people from the state, and how
the inventions came about. The fourth, and final part talks about
the state's mysteries and urban legends. Overall, if you are a
Michigan resident, or a fan of the state, you'll like and
appreciate this book, otherwise, it's a good reference book to have
around to glean facts on people, places and events in Michigan.
