Summary: To the reader from Rockville
Review: Dear Reader - I've been searching for books on World's Fairs and Expositions without much success. Can you tell me of some of the titles in your collection, the publishers and where you purchased them. Nice to know someone else has a passion for these events.

Summary: This book started my love with the World's Fair
Review: I received this book not long after it came out in the 1970's. It is a book of photographs from the Wurts Brothers who were famous architectural photographers of the period. It has many photos that are not in other world's fair books, including a number that were taken during the construction of the fair. Most of the photographs are very beautiful (but no color photos) and many pictures of architectural details are included. Very nice book. It was the first item in what became my world's fair collection.

Summary: Looking Forward to Getting Back
Review: If one picture is worth a 1,000 words then this book makes bracingly clear the visual and visceral impact of the New York World's Fair of 1939. Indeed, it is a fine companion to "Dream of Venus (Or Living Pictures)," a clever novel set in the New York World's Fair of 1939 also available from Amazon.
