From Friday October 3, 2008 Weekly Report of Politics and Minnesota:

"Bits & Pieces

One of our favorite bloggers, Aaron Brown of Minnesota Brown,
has published his first book, Overburden:Modern Life on the Iron Range. Aaron is a
regular in our Morning Report, and we profiled him a few months ago in The
Weekly Report. He's got a singular and incisive take on Range issues and Overburden should be a fascinating and relevant read for Minnesotans and anyone interested in
the societies and economies of rural communities. The book is out already in Iron
Range independent bookstores, but if you can't wait for your local seller to pick it
up, you can preorder from Barnes and Noble. Aaron's also doing a series of appearances to promote the book and speak on the Range as well as media and blogging issues. Check out his site for the
schedule of these appearances."
