Preorder communication
Great communication. I ordered as a part of a pre-sale and Pediment did an outstanding job on communicating when/where our order was.

Our wow promise
Wonderful product. I enjoy the content of the photos and the scope of the accompanying information. However, the book contains notable grammatical and spelling mistakes. It’s a bit distracting. I prefer my mistakes to be enhancing.
A lovely book from the heyday of this city. I am purchasing this for a friend.
Got the books and all I can say is the people that put this together put a lot of time and effort into it. Simply put, it is really awesome. The pictures tell so many stories. Thanks for sending it so promptly too. Have already told a lot of my co workers about it. :)
Being a lifelong Detroiter, I absolutely love the books that I ordered. I sent the recently purchased set, to my daughter in North Carolina. I knew she would appreciate them, Because she cherishes the history of the city as well.
I saw these books at a customers house and felt i needed to share them with my n laws
