Modern Reference Hard Cover Book, "The World's Columbian Exposition" by "Norman Bolotin & Christine Laing". This 158 page book along with an addition 4 page index in the back contains 4 main chapters "Planning and Building the World's Columbian Exposition", "A Grand Tour of the White City", "The Exhibits and Attractions" and "A Week at the Fair". The story walks you through the fairgrounds describing what one would see along the way. It is filled with photographs on almost every page. Some of the photographs are ones that most collectors have never seen. The information is authoritative and you can tell that Norm did extensive research in writing this book. A most enjoyable read for any World's Fair enthusiast. I highly recommend it. Size: 8 3/4" wide by 11 1/4" high. Condition: Near Mint, except that the dust cover has a missing piece at the top.
