Many of our writers are avid readers, and since you picked up our publication, we’re guessing you appreciate a good read, too. That’s why we’ve dedicated this issue to books. We have a feature story with our staff’s book recommendations, and a story on three Minnesota authors who have a shared love for this region, which reflects in their latest works. Other stories include Winterizing the Lake Superior Zoo, deer hunting for the first time, Thanksgiving meals for dine-in or take-out, and the code talkers of WWI and WWII. Enjoy!
