Chicago in Photographs ReviewChicago In Photographs is a celebration of the best that the city has to offer; from the wide open spaces of Lincoln Park to the stunning visual impact of street sculptures, such as Picasso's untitled piece in Daley Plaza and Anish Kapoor's silvery Cloud Gate in Millennium Park - from the much loved Buckingham Fountain to the more functional W.W. Boyington's castellated Water Tower of 1869 - from the massive John Hancock Center to the "old giants" of Chicago architecture, Union Station and the Wrigley Building. All are included in a pictorial journey around one of the nation's greatest cities.

Historic Photos of Christmas in Chicago ReviewAh, Christmas in Chicago. Every year, my Dad would pack up the family and take us downtown to see the lights, the store windows, the crowds, the Salvation Army bands. And then there were the crowds, the snow, the jam-packed airport, the el...ah, so many memories. Well, this excellent book brings it all back.
Stuffed with nearly 200 excellent black-and-white photos, this book shows Christmas in Chicago for the first three quarters of the 20th century. Plus, each photo has its own, well-written caption. If you remember Christmas in Chicago, then you really must see this book. It is wonderfully produced, a real work of excellence (as are all the books in the Historic Photos series). I love this book and give it my highest recommendations!Historic Photos of Christmas in Chicago Overview

Oldest Chicago ReviewThis is certainly an entertaining book, particularly for Chicagoans interested in various neighborhoods. It is full of facts which must have taken considerable effort to uncover. I just wish the author or editors had taken a little more care to get more of the facts and directions correct and to fix the obvious typos. e.g. page 12 The House of Peacock opened in 1837 not 1937; p 22 Leopold Loeb is not one person - presuming the author meant either Nathan Leopold or Richard Loeb; p 23. Jimmy's Woodlawn Tap cannot be "visited in Woodlawn" but is actually in the middle of Hyde Park; p 26 Old St Pat's is just east of the Kennedy not just west; p 31 if the Louisville was sunk near the Indiana line, it was near the 68th Street crib not the Wilson Ave crib; p. 73 the Lincoln statue is east of the History Museum not south; p 84 the U of C is northeast of Daley's Restaurant not northwest; p. 85 the Statue of the Republic is not a "remnant" from the Columbian Exposition but a 1918 replica; p 96 the Art Institute is 2 blocks east of Central Camera not west; p 101 Douglas is buried on 35th Street not 36th Street; p 131 Greeece should be Greece; p 165 Sheridan Hotel should be Sheraton Hotel; p 204 Andy's is not 3 blocks southeast of the Jazz Record Mart but about 1/2 block southwest; p 214 Frank Lloyd Wright left his Oak Park Studio in 1909 and would not have been down the block from a Petersen's ice cream cone in 1919; p 217 Wright's home doesn't include "dark paneled wood"; p 235 "the relatively new suburb of Downers Grove" was founded in 1832; 237 Russel's should be Russell's; p 239 Russell's is east of Maywood Park not west of Balmoral Race Track on Dixie Hwy which is 40 miles away, etc. Otherwise great stuff, I think.Oldest Chicago Overview

City in Time: Chicago ReviewIf you love Chicago, you'll love this book, especially if you are no longer near Chicago.
We have here 140 pages of pictures of Chicago landmarks, sorted into "then" on the left page and "now" on the right, accompanied by about a hundred words of caption explaining what you are looking at and why it is significant. All are landmarks of Chicago and include at least one spot everybody who has ever been there must have gone by, stared at, gone in, or admired.
As a graduate of Illinois Tech., I did catch one awful clinker. To have the building on page 109 (the original Old Main of Armour Institute of Technology) called Crown Hall (it is really about two blocks from there) must have had Mies van der Rohe spinning in his grave for at least a month.City in Time: Chicago Overview
