Suttons Bay Today
Finally a Fifty Degree Sunny Day in Suttons Bay . . .

January 12th, 2006 -


Couldn't resist getting out and walking around and taking a few pictures of the former rail bed for Dan Mejak! He's in the process of rebuilding a train layout based on Suttons Bay and the Leelanau Peninsula. If you've got any information which might be of use to him to complete his project let me know at books@known.com if you can.











Suttons Bay Today
"Scene" Around Known Books . . .


January 10th, 2006 - Author Jerry Dennis and renowned artist and illustator Glenn Wolff!


A pleasant surprise indeed! Jerry and Glenn stopped in after doing a presentation to a crowd of 60 attendees at a function sponsored by the Inland Seas Education Association. The topic for the talk was based upon Jerry's most recent, and I might add, very bestselling, work "The Living Great Lakes."


Also discussed and presented were details from "It's Raining Frogs and Fishes" which was written by Jerry Dennis and lavishly illustrated by Glenn Wolff. Known Books is lucky enough to have a limited supply of First Edition hardcover copies (long out of print) of "It's Raining Frogs and Fishes" of which all copies have been signed by both Jerry Dennis and Glenn Wolff.


Suttons Bay is lucky enough to have a delightful full-bulding mural painted by Glenn Wolff. It is on the bay side of the BP Oil gas station building which faces the Inland Seas Education Association building. Access it down the alley entrance to Boone's Prime Time. (This alley also used to be the rail bed when the train ran through town!)
