Young Henry Ford is a visual and textual presentation of the first forty years of Henry Ford-an American farm boy who became one of the greatest manufacturers of modern times and profoundly impacted the habits of American life. In Young Henry Ford, Sidney Olson dispels some of the myths attached to this automobile legend, going beyond the Henry Ford of mass production and the five-dollar day, and offers a more intimate understanding of Henry Ford and the time he lived in. 
Through hundreds of restored photographs, including some of Ford's own taken with his first camera, Young Henry Ford revisits an America now gone-of long days on the farm, travel by horse and buggy, and one-room schoolhouses. Some of the rare illustrations include the first picture of Henry Ford, photos from Edsel's childhood, snapshots of the interior and exterior of the Ford homestead, Clara and Henry's wedding invitation, and photos of the early stages of the first automobile.

The Car and the Camera: The Detroit School of Automotive Photography

Celebrating Detroit car photographers or "shooters" who created new ways of shooting-and seeing-automobiles from the 1950s through the 1990s, The Car and the Camera takes readers on a revealing visual journey. This lavishly illustrated catalogue examines the technological advances in photography that have affected automotive advertisements and traces the fascinating development of the Detroit school of automotive photography, highlighting major photographers such as Walter Farynk, Dennis Gripentrog, Vern Hammarlund, Mickey McGuire, Guy Morrison, Jim Northmore, and Warren O. Winstanley, and their work. The book also explores the ways in which the automotive industry and auto advertisements act as barometers of American culture, both mirroring and helping to shape the spirit of the time.
