The Greatest Lake in the World
There are countless thousands of lakes in the world. Which one is the greatest, and what does that mean? One man attempted to find out, and the results of his epic quest are in. Find out which lake he crowned the greatest in his not-giving-it-away-in-the-title new book, Lake Chelan: The greatest lake in the world.
John Fahey fell in love with lakes as a child. They were vacation spots, camping grounds, sightseeing destinations, and perfect places for attempted first kisses. After suddenly becoming a property owner in Chelan, the idea took root that it might not just be a good lake, but a great lake. Trips to four continents and dozens of other majestic lakes showed him what truly makes a lake great, and what doesn't (leeches don't help). With a jovial, intelligent voice, John recounts his many adventures and misadventures in and around the world's best lakes with his patient wife and friends, with a healthy dose of geography and history of the Chelan region. Plus, how to have fun with park rangers.
Lake Chelan: The greatest lake in the world comes out April 28th during a special musical extravaganza (and we don't use that word lightly) at the Vogue Lounge in Chelan. Until then, you can save 10% off the list price by pre-ordering through our online store. Just click through to save. Also check out John's website at greatestlakeintheworld.com.

It's a doozy of a book. Nearly 400 pages of glorious prose from a finely skilled writer, Closing Circles touches on everything from politics to the secret service to the Summer of Love to quack psychiatry to racism in the Church as it explores the life of Jed Russell, a young Mormon journalist recently blindsided by divorce.
Early reviewers are calling it engrossing and captivating and all kinds of other very nice things. To see what they're so excited about, swing on over to our web store and order a copy for yourself.
