2006 Michigan Notable Books
The 2006 Michigan Notable Books highlights the Library of Michigan’s annual selection of up to 20 recommended books reflecting Michigan’s rich cultural heritage, featuring high-quality titles with wide public appeal that are either written by a Michigan resident or about a Michigan-related topic.

Somehow they left Nimble Books off the list! But there are a couple of nice ones mentioned here. I particularly like the sound of:

Legends of Light: A Michigan Lighthouse Portfolio, photographs by Ed Wargin. Ann Arbor Media Group. Michigan’s Great Lakes maritime heritage is vividly reflected in this spectacular photographic collection of selected lighthouses and their beautiful landscapes. Striking examples include lighthouses at Au Sable Point, Grand Haven, Granite Island and Point Iroquois.

Mighty Fitz: The Sinking of the Edmund Fitzgerald, by Michael Schumacher. Bloomsbury. Still one of the great unsolved mysteries of the Great Lakes, the Edmund Fitzgerald and its 29-man crew perished in Lake Superior during a November storm in 1975. The tragic story of the ship and crew are recounted here, as well as the search and rescue efforts, the official investigation and the controversial struggle over the recent recovery of the ship’s bell.
