An Uncrowded Place: The Delights and Dilemmas of Life Up North by Bob Butz VERY GOODHardcover with DJ in Very Good condition. While the intricately linked writings in this book are all centered around life in one small northern Michigan town, in the end Butz creates a portrait of place that ultimately transcends regional boundaries. Poignant and funny, An Uncrowded Place speaks to the trifles and heartaches that make life worth living, and to every wandering soul looking for a place to call home.
