I edit the Detroit Historical Society's quarterly guide to exhibitions, events, programs, and tours and would like to feature a bee-yoo-tiful color photograph of the Book-Cadillac on the front cover. Who's got one or could tell me where to find one? Photographer will get credit for the photo. I don't have money in my budget to pay for the photo. Ah, life on a nonprofit budget! |

Historic photo, or current photo? I would guess that a current (or recent past one) would be easy to find. |

Go to www.flickr.com and search for "Book Cadillac" or "Westin Book Cadillac" etc. If you find a photo you like from one of the artists, just send them a message to see if you can have permission to use it. There are some really good photographers on that site. |

Frank Nemecek might have one. He directed that documentary about the Book Cadillac hotel. You could probably contact him through his production company. It's Prince Igor Films. |

Thank you for the good leads. Find out which lucky local photographer makes the front cover of the Detroit Historical Society Summer 2007 program guide. Pick up a free copy at the Detroit Historical Museum or Dossin Great Lakes Museum (begging your pardon for the "plug"). |

Frank, I have 4 nearly perfect condition post cards from the early days of the BC, including the Grand Ballroom, the Italian Garden, the Crystal Ball Room, and a full outdoor photo. Let me know if you'd like to photo/copy, or otherwise use them. Tom |
