The Detroit Shoppe’s Cyrus Tetteh ‘Only in Detroit’ book signing

The Detroit Shoppe at Somerset Collection is hosting a book signing on Saturday, Dec. 23, 1 - 3 p.m., with Detroit-based photographer Cyrus Tetteh for his latest book Only in Detroit, which features a captivating visual journey offering an exclusive glimpse into some of Motor City's most iconic moments and celebrated figures from 2017 to 2022.

In a city known for its rich history, culture, and resilience, Tetteh’s lens unveils the remarkable moments and people that make Detroit one of a kind. The 96-paged Only in Detroit book features an array of exclusive, never-before-seen photographs, including intimate shots from the funeral of Motown Legend Aretha Franklin, rare glimpses of billionaire Mike Bloomberg during his 2018 visit to Detroit, heartwarming moments with Mary Wilson of the Supremes at the Brewster Projects where she grew up, and President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris’ visits to Detroit

Tetteh's inspiration for Only in Detroit stems from his desire to counteract the negative narrative that has plagued the city for years. He aims to demonstrate that Detroit is not defined solely by its challenges but by its resilience, creativity, and moments of triumph. All photographs in the book were taken within the city limits of Detroit, emphasizing its authenticity and showcasing the city's true character.

The book is available for purchase in varying sizes starting a $50 at The Detroit Shoppe, a nonprofit store that showcases the people, places, and products of Detroit. The Detroit Shopped is located on Somerset Collection North Level 3.
