More information on Printers Row Book Fair

So called because this stretch of Dearborn once housed a variety of publishing houses, Printer's Row is now a collection of shops, restaurants and finely restored buildings. This is a pleasant place for a stroll, as the turn-of-the-century buildings recall a bygone era. Stop inside the Printer's Row Hilton if you can. The building was recently restored to its former glory.

Directions

Red Line, Harrison St stop
