Reading Vintage is based in Midland, Michigan. A lot of what comes through the door reflects that: Michigan history, Great Lakes stories, Upper Peninsula guides, regional maps, and the kind of local printed material and collectibles that surface in estate sales and are hard to find anywhere else.
This collection brings together books, guides, collectibles, and paper items connected to Michigan and the Great Lakes region. History and biography from Michigan authors and Michigan subjects. Water guides, navigation references, and accounts of the lakes themselves, including the storms. Local postcards, maps, and printed items that document how people here lived and moved.
If you have a connection to this part of the country, or you are looking for something to give someone who does, this is a good place to start. Each item is described and photographed as it actually is.
