How can I get a copy?
Once the book is available, copies can be purchased from
Createspace.com or Amazon.com. We anticipate the cost will be $20
per copy. Any proceeds will go towards funding future Big Reads in
Dearborn. We will also be adding copies to the library collection, so with a library card, you can check
out a copy for free.
How is the book organized? We have over 150 authors in the collection, and the book is about
440 pages long. The book contains an introduction, and eight chapters
with author bios, acknowledge-ments and an author index at the
end.
