Michigan ROCKS!

I’m thrilled to announce that I now have, back in stock and even autographed by one of the co-authors, the popular, much-desired, and for a time elusive Michigan Rock Picker’s Guide. Since Partners Book Distributing went out of business, the former publisher of this book dropped it, and the copyright went back to the authors, who have now had it reprinted in color better than the original.

Lake Michigan Rock Picker’s Guide

by Bruce Mueller & Kevin Gauthier

Paperback, 80pp, $15.95

And that’s not all. For intrepid adventurers whose Michigan experiences extend as far as the “Sunrise Side” and the Upper Peninsula, I also have a couple copies each of Lake Huron Rock Picker’s Guide and Lake Superior Rock Picker’s Guide – same amateur-friendly information, same beautiful color, and same great price. 

Leelanau Geology

When you look out over Lake Michigan or climb the dunes at Sleeping Bear National Lakeshore, what do you see? How much sense can you make of the forces behind the formation of our lands and waters? 

Because there is more to geology than stones on the beach, Thomas Hooker has put together a short, very readable text, illustrated mostly with his own photographs, recounting the story of Leelanau's geologic past. 

And he also writes poems!
