Product Description
Chambers of Commerce won't be giving this book away any time soon! A high-spirited, humorous look at a special land and the challenges of living in a remote region with more trees than people, long winters, and two-track roads. Visitors are warned about the climate, insects, wildlife, local residents and other potential "dangers." In a more serious epilogue, the author asks that visitors tread gently on the land and fold themselves into the Upper Peninsula way of life that its residents hold dear. Illustrated with regional map and 12 black/white drawings.

 Mixed Review for Not Really a Guide February 8, 2008

You Wouldn't Like It Here: A Guide to the Real Upper Peninsula of Michigan
This book is not actually a guide in the true sense of the word but a little light hearted humor more suited to those of us who can actually call ourselves "Yoopers". This book will never sucessfully guide you to a hidden geographical attraction in the U.P. but it will act as a humor filled guide to the U.P's biggest attraction; the people themselves. Beware, it is infectous and does exactly what it professes to not do. That is entice you to visit. Four visits are required to fully understand this book. One visit in each season. After that experience don't tell anyone about it so you can keep your love affair with this most unusual place private.

"Back to Central" by Lon was an extraordinary book - one of my all time favorite local history/geography books. But I am afraid this one is a real "stinker". Sorry Lon.

This book was written from a resident's point of view, not as a guild book. As a longtime resident of the of the northern lower as well as being born and raised in the Upper Peninsula. This author was right on with the way people think and what they do from an outsider's inside view. A little over the top on the "redneckedness". But hey, most of us are. A quick read into the old northern way.
