Attention auto upholstery shops interested in purchasing back-issue Detroit and Deleo fabric sample books: Larry Dennis Company has announced that it has a limited quantity of books dating as far back as 1987 available for sale. These books are priced as low as $50 each and will sell fast.
Congratulations to Jay of The Interior Shop in Billings, Montana for winning The Hog Ring‘s contest for “Comment of the Week“. Jay takes home this week’s prize: top-of-the-line Kretzer shears!
One of the questions that we often hear auto trimmers ask is: “Why are Detroit Books so hard to find?” Seeing as upholstery shops need them to order original automotive fabrics and suppliers rely on them to market their goods, it seems almost counter intuitive that they’re not so readily available.
We decided to contact Detroit Body Products, which publishes the Detroit Book, as well as De Leo Textiles, which produced the comparable “Lion Book” up until 2009, to get to the bottom of this issue.
