- Postcard. Postcard depicting an illustration the never-completed second Book Tower building set to be 81 floors, which would have made it the tallest building in the world at the time.

Back reads, "The new Book Tower is at Washington Boulevard, Park Place and State St. The Tower is 873 feet in the air-81 floors-the tallest building in the world. A fitting monument exemplifying the confidence of Mr. J.B. Book, Jr. in Detroit." It is interesting to note that the postcard refers to the building as if it is already constructed. The Curt Teich and Company logo is also printed on the verso.
