"I read this book from cover to cover. I simply believe that every Minnesotan should read it, because what's inside this book is inside all of us—from the way we speak, to the jokes we tell, to the foods we bring to church." —Marshall Independent
"The pages practically turn themselves and contain some of the most entertaining tidbits of Minnesota Trivia ever gathered between two book covers. It is a fascinating treasure trove." —Star Gazette"Too bad I didn't have this book a year ago. It's a quick guide to the state with more than 10,000 lakes (11,842 if you are counting). And it has some pretty good information for newcomers and for longtime residents who just don't know as much about the great state of Minnesota as they think." —Faribault Daily News
