Michigan Modern s edited by Brian Conway, State Historic Preservation Officer and Amy Arnold, Michigan Modern project coordinator, is the kind of book that will provide you with a great read all winter! When I first purchased Michigan Modern at the State Library during the launch of the "Minds of Modernism" exhibition, I brought it home and set it on my coffee table wondering when I'd actually have time to read it. However I discovered to my delight that it was a perfect read to digest in small bits of time. The essays are fascinating and the historic and vintage illustrations are gorgeous.
