Books About Michigan and the Great Lakes

Weird Owl Vintage and Books has a nice selection of vintage books for Michiganders and fans of the Great Lakes.

We have several cookbooks from Michigan, including the scarce Official MSU Cookbook published in 1993.



Great Lakes Cookery - Bea Smith Cookbook


If you are into Michigan history, we have regional history books as well as a number of books by well-known Michigan historian Larry Massie, and a hard-to-find book about Michigan's prehistory.

 Michigan Memories by Larry B. Massie


Potawatomi Tears and Petticoat Pioneers,  Michigan History


For the genealogists, we have Michigan Place Names, and Passing of the Gael by Rev. John Whalen McGee. Father McGee chronicles Irish history and the exodus that brought many Irish to Kent County, Michigan and surrounding communities. You might find your ancestors in this book.

If you are looking for a book by a Michigan author, we have you covered with several novels by Jeffrey Eugenides, including his Pulitzer Prize-winning book Middlesex. Or you might like to read a couple of books about war written by Michiganians who served and fought.





Did you attend U of M and want to read a history of the University of Michigan?

Or did you go to Calvin College? Promises to Keep covers Calvin College history from 1876 to 1975.

Last but not least, you'll want to check out our books about the Great Lakes which surround the Mitten State.
