Michigan Notable Books is a statewide program that began as part of the 1991 Michigan Week celebration, designed to pay tribute and draw attention to the many people, places and things that make Michigan life unique. Joe Grimm wrote “The Faygo Book” after building up a tremendous thirst on the Wayne State University Press book “Coney Detroit,” written with Katherine Yung. Grimm, a lifelong Detroit area resident, is a Michigan State University journalism professor and worked 25 years at the Detroit Free Press. Grimm’s favorite Faygo flavor is Rock & Rye.
