Here is a relatively current source:

Title: National survey of state laws /
Author(s): Leiter, Richard A.
Corp Author(s): Thomson Gale.
Publication: Detroit : Thomson Gale,
Edition: 4th ed.
Year: 2003

That is available at these Michigan libraries

   MI ALMA COL EZA
   MI AVE MARIA SCH OF LAW L#V
   MI BAY CNTY LIBR SYST B2A

This title is substantially older but may be of interest:

The good, the bad, and the rest
state lemon laws and protection for consumers /
Author: Solomon, Steven B.
Publication: [Chicago] : American Bar Association, Section of Litigation,
1995

This Autopedia website has coverage of Lemon Laws by state and the links
take one right to the text of pertient laws for the states covered:

Lemon Law Information and Sites
<http://www.autopedia.com/html/HotLinks_Lemon.html>

This site even gives the site user a map to use to find the lemon laws by
state:

Lemon Law America
<http://www.lemonlawamerica.com/>

Yet another site for Lemon Law information by state is LemonLawUSA

LemonLawUSA
<http://www.lemonlawusa.com/>

In addition to the coverage of Lemon Laws by Autopedia noted at the top of
the website list, Autopedia also provides this Lemon Law summary page:

State by State Lemon Law Summaries
<http://www.autopedia.com/html/HotLinks_Lemon2.html>

This page also provides summaries of these laws

Lemon Law Summaries
<http://www.carlemon.com/lemons.html>

If one wants an organization behind the lemon law coverage and warranty
information on the same site as well there is this choice:

National Lemon Law Center
<http://www.nationallemonlawcenter.com/>

Yahoo Search Directory provides this page for lemon laws:

Consumer Law > Lemon Law
Directory > Government > Law > Consumer > Lemon Law
<http://dir.yahoo.com/government/law/consumer/lemon_law/>

If the car is used, one can turn to this site:

STATES WITH USED CAR LEMON LAWS
<http://www.amiautoworld.com/stories/consumer.cfm?instanceid=21224>

If it turns out that the car is a dog rather than a lemon, one may get
analogous help from this website, or one may find that this site has them
barking up the wrong tree:

Puppy Lemon Law States
<http://www.malteseonly.com/lemon.html>

The bottom line is that in addition to the Gale publication, one is not
squeezed for information on lemon laws by the content provided on this
subject on the internet for the car that is going to seed.
