Detroit via Nailhed

Nailhed, I just spent about three hours on your website last night. Incredible mix of history, your experience, photography, people, places, etc. I can't wait to dig in again after work today.

Have you ever considered publishing a book? You have a rare mix of amazing personal stories and images, but also detailed citations of all the published history you mentioned.

Thanks!

As a matter of fact this website was what I ended up doing after deciding *against* a book, when I became frustrated with the current state of the publishing industry.

I really love your site too. I'm very familiar with Kovac's bar, and I've yet to see it more honestly or thoroughly presented. But you gotta eat man, no?

I reach the same conclusion after several publishers reached out to do The Fabulous Ruins of Detroit as a book.

Conversations went something like this, "So I give you my images, story, writing, hundreds of hours and get pittance royalties only after you recover your expenses?"

Barring the unlikely event of a blockbuster everything I calculated left me earning sub-mimimum wages while went on with their $100K+ jobs.
