Regional Interest

Leelanau Books highlights many Michigan authors,both fiction and non-fiction titles, as well as a large array of local and regional interest books. Some authors of local interest include Jim Harrison, Doug Stanton, Kathleen Stocking, Jerry Dennis, Ken Scott, Deborah Wyatt Fellows, Aaron Stander, Mardi Link, Robert Underhill, and Bill Crandell, just name a few.

Some of the Michigan children's and young adult authors on the scene are Lynne Rae Perkins, Tobin Sprout, Gloria Whelan, Shari Yost Binstadt, Carl Sams, Robbyn and Gijsbert van Frankenhuyzen, Jeffery L. Schatzer, Dana Lehman, Sonja Richards, Barry Marsh, Hillary Porter, Jennifer Charron Ward, and Alan Scott Craker.

Books of interest about Michigan include Mark Jager's "Mystic Michigan" Series, Michigan flora and fauna, the Great Lakes, shipwrecks and lighthouses, Michigan's Upper Peninsula, books with photography and text that highlight the beauty of our state.

Seasonally we carry local calendars- The Leland Report Calendar from Keith and James Burnham and The Best of the Back Pages, a calendar with local photographs by Ken Scott, published by the Leelanau Enterprise. Our sales of the Leland Report Calendar have ended for the year, but we still have a few of The Best of the Back Pages.

This is not as comprehensive a list as it might be, but rather an example of some of what is available. An expanded list of Michigan authors and titles, as well as new additions, will appear here in the near future or as they become available.
