It took him eight years, four computers, two cover designs, and hundreds (perhaps thousands) of man-hours to produce Middle Bass and Other Lake Erie Islands. Jeff Koehler added, “The Put-in-Bay Gazette family is proud of Gordy. Based on curb weight alone the book is worth its cover price of $29.95. The high-resolution print process really makes the book’s 80 full-color pictures pop. The Lake Erie Islands books are beautifully printed on archival paper on a six-color Heidelberg Press. Weighing in at almost three pounds, the Put-in-Bay Novel contains 91 chapters and has over 368 pages (plus acknowledgments). Even shy, poorly dressed, outer islands like East Sister Island, Middle Sister Island, and West Sister Island enjoy the spotlight.”

Per Jeff Koehler, co-editor of the Put-in-Bay Gazette, “From day one (2010), Gordy’s articles were diverse and interesting. Each season holds its own set of stories and each story reflects some aspect of the diverse subject matter of the Lake Erie Islands. The book is a selection of Barr’s past writing from the Put in Bay Gazette and is divided into four sections (Summer, Fall, Winter, and Spring). Barr’s Book will join writer Bob Adamov’s collection of books about Put-in-Bay. Barr’s book is filled with western basin island lore, extraordinary island stories, and island tall tales. Gordy Barr’s “Legends of Middle Bass and Other Lake Erie Islands” will hit newsstands on Independence Day. The Put in Bay Gazette News is proud to announce that one of its own writers will be releasing his first Lake Erie Island Books July 4th,2018.
