|title=The Last Days of Detroit: Motor Cars, Motown and the Collapse of an Industrial Giant
|author=Mark Binelli
|rating=4
|genre=History
|summary=Moving back to his native Detroit, Mark Binelli tries to see where it all went wrong for a city which was once ''America's capitalist dream town'' but has shrunk more significantly than anywhere else in the country over recent years. How did this happen, and what effect has it had on the residents there? Is the decline irreversible, or can those who want to bring about a changed and improved Detroit succeed?

|title=Here and Now: Letters
|summary=I've always been a little bit nervous about the ''Bluffer'' series, on the basis that I would be sure to come out with a clever-sounding phrase, only to be found out when someone asked the follow-up question. Better, I thought to stay silent and appear ignorant than to open my mouth and prove myself a fool. But then ''The Bluffer's Guide to Chocolate'' came my way and I couldn't resist - any more than I've ever been able to resist chocolate.
