There are probably some arcadia books that he would like.

Arcadia does have a Dearborn book in their Images of American series.

I would also inquire at the Dearborn Historical Museum, as they might have some good recommendations.

They have that Arcadia book at Barnes and Noble, if you have one near you. At least it's in stock at the one that I'm at right now anyway [[and no, I don't work here). Might save you the shipping costs and the potential wait for shipping as well. It's reviewed at Amazon.com, given a 5-star rating.
Orvie: The Dictator of Dearborn: The Rise and Reign of Orville L. Hubbard. Detroit: Wayne State University Press, 1989.
Long term Dearborn mayor Hubbard became a national symbol of suburban resistance to blacks in the era before the Open Housing Law was enacted in 1968.
