I have that book Smudge. You are correct about the poor reproduction and of course the tiny size of the printing. Tough to shrink a full size newspaper down to 11 x 17.

Couldn't agree about it being the only book to own about Detroit, but it is a good thing to have as it gives you a sense of the zeitgeist. The mark of modern folks is to see the past through the lense of contemporary sensiblities, thereby distorting the actual historical incident.

I believe the book was a premium for buying something else like a Channel 56 membership or DIA or some such thing.
