Customer Reviews

Great gift for any Chicago resident or former resident

I bought this book for my Mom, who grew up on the East Side (South Side to all those that didn't grow up there) of Chicago. She still has family there and I know she misses the city. I was very pleased with the book. The pictures were great and they covered all areas of the city. My Mom loved the book, as did my Dad who also grew up in Chicago. The book was a good length and the picture quality was excellent. I highly recommend for any Chicago-lovers out there.

From the Inside Front Cover.....

Chicago 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.
