About the book, Dorbin says:

This sixty-eight-page photo book focuses on the Kalamazoo region. It showcases the many local spaces I have visited with my camera over the past few years. I have features on bowling alleys, motels, and other unique landmarks in Kalamazoo County. However, you don’t have to be a resident of the area to appreciate the book. In fact, Americans nationwide can enjoy this collection that details the shift from places rich with character to that are visually uninteresting.

I used a number of cameras in the creation of this photographic collection including the Holga, Mamiya C220, Yashica Mat, Brownie Hawkeye Flash, Canon Rebel G 35mm SLR, Hasselblad and Diana toy camera. The book includes a camera index in the back to show the reader which camera was used to take each image.

It’s 7 × 7 inches, full color, softcover, and costs US $20.
