Detroit history buffs will be transfixed by these images, which originally appeared in the pages of Hour Detroit magazine. If you have fond memories of the days when streetcars rumbled through Detroit’s avenues, of shopping downtown at Hudson’s and Kern’s, or spending lazy days on Belle Isle — or even if you’re too young to have experienced the city’s heyday — The Way It Was will transport you to a time when Detroit pulsated with energy.

Customer Rating:
Summary: The Way it Was
Comment: Great book, I enjoyed it so much that I ended up buying several to give as gifts to friends that have moved away from Detroit.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Pictorial moments in the history of a city
Comment: The photos in this book are well chosen and the book is nicely designed and presented. My only gripe is that I wish that there were many more pictures. The title does say "Glimpses" however and that is correct. This would be a great gift book for anyone who has roots in the Motor City or is interested in knowing a bit of its history.
Customer Rating:
