Walking Through Detroit With Lilian Jackson Braun

I found this booklet at a Farmington estate sale a week or two ago. There were 3 scattered among the house and at one point I had all of them but acquiesced to sanity on this one occasion and put them back for others to collect. If you've been around newspapers, especially the Detroit dailies, and books long enough you know the name Lilian Jackson Braun. She of the long-running mystery series The Cat Who... which I never read a page of but have sold many a copy. She was also th e Good Living section editor for the Freep for 30 years while writing columns as well. This booklet appeared in that paper, likely in segments. I'm dating it to 1966 or so based on the information in the booklet. It states she had been there 17 years at the time of its publication and had published two novels.She started in 1948 and published her third novel in 1968. Anyway, here are the covers and first 4 pages.
