 High above the rest June 24, 2000

As a relatively small island, Mackinac is almost perfectly suited to Cameron's style. Reading this book is almost as good as a trip to Northern Michigan. Cameron has obtained some of the best color-reproduction craftspeople in the world to print his books, and it shows. These are not your ordinary snapshots. The entire Island is here. If you ever wanted to see something steadily and see it whole, this book is a good place to start.
 A must-own for all Michiganians October 23, 1999

Robert Cameron's "Above" series are all fine works, and offer unique glimpses at major cities from a unique perspective. All of his works are primarily photography travelogues, but each offers pithy captions from local experts."Above Mackinac" is among the best, and offers spectacular aerial photos of not just Mackinac, but all of Northwestern lower Michigan. The book also does a fantastic job of pairing Cameron's photos with historical shots, highlighting changes over the years. Sort of a then-and-now retrospective. Mind you, these are not 35,000-foot government-land-survey-type aeriel photos, but rather are lower angle photos taken from a helicopter at perhaps 2,000 feet, so details can easily be picked out. The colors and landscapes of this glorious region come alive -- partly because many of the photos were taken at the peak of the fall colors. The sights of Mackinac, Sleeping Bear Dunes, Charlevoix and the five-mile long "Mighty Mac" bridge bring back great memories for me anyway. Makes a great coffeetable book. My only complaint is that unlike most of his other works, this particular book is not available in hardcover. Enjoy!
A beautiful book of a beautiful place. April 7, 1999
I was fortunate to live on Mackinac Island the summer that this book was published and have a copy from The Island Bookstore, signed by both Robert Cameron and Phil Porter. The book is gorgeous, and now that I am planning to return to the island after a five year absence, it is invaluable as I choose lodging and make plans. It effectively captures the beauty and majesty of a very special place and Cameron and Porter's affection for Mackinac Island is evident on every page. For those who hope to visit this magical place or who already hold it dear, Above Mackinac is a wonderful journey.
