Alaska was first published in 1988. I read a mass market copy when it came out and loved it. I want to reread it this year and have been looking for a used mass market copy. Wish I still had my original copy.

Really??? I must have misread the copy right as a republishing! That’s fascinating as that was close to when I lived there and oil was really king. Hope you find your copy! ❤️

I share your love for this book and it’s DEFINITELY my best read of 2024 so far. We just returned from a trip to Alaska, and read the book in preparation for the trip. It really enriched my understanding of the geography and history of this amazing place. I listened on audio but followed up with the purchase of a hardback book so that I can reread it and annotate and study the maps. The only other Michener I have read was Chesapeake-- it was good, too, but Alaska outshines it IMHO.

Thanks for the information - glad your trip was amazing! I want to go back!

I’ve never read any of his books but I have Chesapeake on my TBR. This video makes me want to try to get to it sooner.

This sounds like the kind of book that I will love. It gives me Moby-Dick vibes. I was the rare reader who liked the cetology chapters.

You know it does actually have some Moby Dick vibes but history in action!

Interesting timing--I was just looking up what books of Michener's I hadn't read, and Alaska is one of them. It's now on my list of books to look for. Thanks!

Yes I want to read more for sure! ❤️

Sounds like a good read! I road-tripped around Alaska in 2018 and would love to learn more. Adding it to the TBR

Read Alaska a long time ago and was shocked that I considered among my favourite books of all time. Seeing that you loved it so much is a nice validation of my own love of the book. Alaska was written in 1988. Maybe the movie named Alaska that came out in 2015 caused confusion.

Thanks! Yes my copy was a reprint in 2015! Sorry if I confuse people! Whenever it came out it’s great!

I think I have Hawaii in my books upstairs. Now I’m eager to see if I do. I love Alaska too so I’ll put on my TBR.
