Detroit - A Manual for Citizens

[M CD M]

I recently was told about a book titled "Detroit - A Manual For Citizens"
and some of the pages that were scanned for me date it from the 1960's [[fallout shelter in schools as part of the chapter on Civil Defense in Detroit)
And just this week I got a copy of this book. And it is not the same. there is no information on fallout shelters but about air raid shelters.
This copy is the 5th edition but is copyrighted in 1958.
Time to dust off those books and lets see how many different editions there are?
My copy is 374 pages long. And has Detroit Public Schools at the bottom on the cover.

[[ I am interested in purchasing the first 4 editions prior to the 5th edition and those that come after)

I just looked on Amazon, they have a 1965 & a 1968 version available. Good luck...

I think I have the 1973 edition. I'm away from home now but whe I get back I'll scan the cover.

It's a great civics book for middle and high school students. [[Do they teach civics in school any more?) Got mine at John King Books; I would check there first before buying online.

Mike, I already did, and they don't have any at this time.

I've seen this book before. I wish I remember where.

I have a similar Detroit Public Schools book titled "Detroit At Work" published in 1966.

It was a friend's Salvation Army find.
