November 11, 2009: I purchased this book not only for our family but also for my sister's. The book was familiar to me from reviewing it shortly in a restaurant in Menominee, Michigan called Schloegel's.I was thrilled to see it for sale at the Barnes and Noble book store, since the restaurant owner didn't think the book was in print any longer. While we were waiting for our food to be delivered to our table, the book just happened to be displayed at every table. It has a fun fact on every page. It is an intriguing book to have in the house and a real conversation starter with family and friends.
