The Ann Arbor News did me a huge favor today by publishing an article about my book, Images of America: Downtown Ann Arbor. The article can be found here. There are some lovely pictures of then & now, including some of those “slidey” things that let you mouse over the picture and see before & after.

Writing the book was an honor and privilege, and true labor of love. I submitted the query letter, not quite knowing what I was getting into. I had moments of OH MY GOD I AM GOING TO PULL MY EYEBALLS OUT AND BOUNCE THEM DOWN MAIN STREET to There’s no way I can do this I suck I suck at all to Well, maybe I can do this….

I hope folks like it, and I hope that it makes people think a little about the history of our lovely, wonderful little city.
