<p>This history of Detroit tells the story of the great industrial city, from its beginning as a French fur trading outpost in 1701 to its new era of hope and renewal in the 21st century. In between are the highs and lows: the birth and boom of the auto industry, the grandeur of the 1920s and the postwar era, the loss of population and jobs in the dark times between 1968 and the 1990s, the closing of Tiger Stadium, and the new activity surrounding the Campus Martius area and Comerica Park. More than 100 vintage photographs.</p>

America has always lived for its movies. From vaudeville’s humble beginnings, through two world wars, and finally television and the internet, moviegoing has endured as a great American pastime. From the movie palace of the 1920s to the multiplex of the twenty-first century, here are Michigan’s premier theatres—past and present. Each major city in Michigan is represented. Some of the theatres are still in operation, some are closed and in need of rescue, while, sadly, many others are gone. Over seventy theatres are carefully detailed in this book, through historic photos and well-researched text. The book also looks behind the curtain at the families who built movie house empires in Michigan (often on a shoestring). Major architectural styles and movie posters are featured as well. Loaded with nostalgia and optimistic about the future of the industry, this book is for anyone who loves movies and Michigan history.

Michigan Movie Theatres: A Pictorial History

Doyle, Michael V.

A uniquely personal baseball book by Detroit's "Mr. Baseball." Cohen worked for the Tigers front office for eight years beginning in 1984, the year they won the World Series. With dry wit, he descibes the ballclub's highs and lows. The book features 200 photos, including one of a kind candid shots of the ballparks, the ballplayers, and the people behind the scenes. Conversations with Mark "The Bird" Fidrych, Sparky Anderson, George Kell, Al Kaline, Denny McLain, and Kirk Gibson will appeal to Tigers fans of all ages.
