10-18-13 really enjoyed the information about my home state. The knowledge has already been applied multiple times and inspired a few trips.
haven't read this cover to cover; just flipped through each page and read what caught my eye at the time. Quite a bit of diverse info and the occasional quiz. My husband found something that led him to immediately check it out on the Internet; a meteor crater in WI! Who knew? A great book for those who enjoy learning about WI and one worth keeping out in the open for others to flip through.

An episodic presentation of "all things" Wisconsin, from cheese, cheese heads to my hometown's Hillsboro & Northeastern Railroad Company, a 5 mi. long railroad company for the shipping of milk to Union Center...the perfect bathroom book because of its episodic nature!
