Whatever was used to bind the pages to the book is totally unacceptable in this day and age. I rcommend the contents of this book to anyone in Minnesota looking for answers to why our forefathers and mothers came to this state (territory) but buy it in a hardcover book with good binding! Do not buy in the softcover. I had an associate who also bougth this in softcover and it had pages stuck to together due to wet ink or whatever. The old saying of a price to good to be true; applies to this softcover edition.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Oldie but goodieBy JVB Jr.This is an older copyright; but it is packed with great information about each of dozens of ethnis groups that came to MN. Each section has statictics and a short but informative social history of the group. The articles are easy to read but also profusely footnoted with citations to other great source. An excellant starting point for fun reading leading to further research.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. BrilliantBy NonnaThis book hails from a time long past when accurate research was an important goal of Minnesota Historical Society.
