Red Exodus (1993) by Mayme Sevander ISBN-10: 1887801456
Also by Mayme Sevander, a sequel: Of Soviet Bondage (1996) ISBN: 1887801537 Given her personal stake, the unraveling of the Karelian Fever mystery was spearheaded by the late Mayme Sevander of northern Wisconsin, whom I had the pleasure of meeting at the 2004 grand finale of the Työmies Society (then captained by the late Weikko Jarvi); these are two of the trilogy that Mayme wrote on the topic.

Traver On Fishing by Robert Traver What a great idea—Nick Lyons has carefully constructed this anthology of John Voelker’s Greatest Hits featuring Ishpeming, Michigan’s favorite son famously known as Robert Traver (1903-1991), who is often considered the quintessential Yooper. Not only does Mr. Lyons include some fine essays taken from Traver’s three fishing-specific books but also some special treats, including a generous number of Traver’s magazine contributions and a couple of profiles written by former friends and colleagues—and I for one appreciate such a gathering under one cover. As Traver himself would tell us, it’s not that trout fishing is so important, however, a speckled trout is a beautiful creature that’s synonymous with a healthy environment! Nick Lyons is a New Yorker who served as editor for Traver’s Trout Magic (1974). 6 7/8 x 9 1/8 softcover, 320p. ISBN 1-59228-153-2 Fishing photo-array plus a Traver fishing-quotation sampler

Breakfast at the Hoito by Charles Wilkins (1997) In going Global, SuperiorReading welcomes Charles Wilkins, originally from Toronto but now residing in Thunder Bay, Ontario—Lake Superior’s largest community, located at the lake’s head. I first came across Charlie’s name when I read (in a book about the National Hockey League’s six-team era) his portrait of Gordie Howe, which was absolutely the best I'd ever seen. And that’s nothing to sneeze at, given that I was born & raised in the vicinity of Detroit’s old Olympia Stadium where Gordie starred, and a Red Wings fan all the way. My personal exchanges with this author have reaffirmed what I’ve typically come to expect from Canadians, i.e., a Class Act all the way—Hail Canada! It’s no surprise, then, to find Breakfast at the Hoito a very entertaining collection of essays and profiles centered on the Thunder Bay area, the Hoito being that funky eatery below the famous Labour Temple of the historical Bay Street district in old Port Arthur (where I myself have had a few adventures over the years to be sure). 6 x 9 softcover, 182p., fully indexed, 49 b/w photos. ISBN 1-896219-33-0
