My only complaint is that these are obviously digital photos. They just can't match the crispness of film.

"American City: Detroit Architecture 1845-2005" is an excellent photography book. Not only is it a wonderful "coffee- table" book, but one that depicts the architectural history of Detroit that is now, sadly, being overlooked. Sharoff and Zbaren selected 50 buildings that they fell represent the "best" of Detroit over the past 160 years. Some of the architects represented are Albert Kahn, Isamu Noguchi, Frank Lloyd Wright, Mies van der Rohe, Minoru Yamasaki, Philip Johnson, and many more. It's time to take a "new" look at Detroit.
