Detroit's fabled gnome, the Nain Rouge, shares his favorite locations in this visually rich guide book of amazing things to see and do in Detroit An alternative guidebook that will appeal to photography and popular culture book buyers and collectors, historians, celebrity seekers, and fantasy enthusiasts. It's a collection of photos that reveals the Nain (well, a convincingly costumed stand-in) is actually a city booster who loves its rich legacy and sites. It's written and photographed by Dave Krieger, who says he began the project as a reaction to the ruin porn' of the last decade.

"what an incredibly original idea. To have Nain Rouge portrayed in a positive light is a very clever idea. All most of us hear or see or read about D is so terribly negative, and so terribly wrong to boot."
"Well written, and highlighting tons of things that don't show up on *every* *other* "DETROIT MUST SEE" list."
"Whether you think the Nain Rouge is a devil, a saint, or something in between, this clever guide reminds us of the beautiful places we've been and the strange, exciting ones we have yet to discover."
"Great photos and helpful to my visitors from out of town."
"Love the pictures."

"A section featuring 8 full menus is organized by seasons-A spring Mediterranean feast features lamb, summer brings fresh salads, autumn has satisfying soups, and a winter highlight is veal scaloppine. In the index, you will also find individual recipes from appetizers to vegetables (more than 25 unique offerings for vegetables alone) The recipes come from shop owners, employees, farmers, dealers, shoppers and restaurant owners, as well as the authors themselves."
"Their enthusiasm for the subject is very evident first hand as is their obvious repoire with the traders who generally greet the authors with smiles and hugs."
"I conceder myself a friend of Margaret and hope to have my copy of her book signed soon and cook a dish from the book for her too."
