yes.
there is a business up in the Portland area, inventories long discontinued automotive fabrics- charges high prices, a client bought some recently at $175 per yard. But who has DeSoto material? Often to match they reference “The Detroit Book” that will shift as Detroit Body Products went under in 2020.
no more sample books to reference.

there are complaints of the resellers, tough biz. Baron Corpuz is an example.
