[Title] The Chicago World’s Fair of 1893: A Photographic Record [Author] Stanley Appelbaum [Rating] ★★★ [Year] 1980 [Read] 2013/08/07 [Review] 
As the other reviews say: worth it for the photographs, not so much the commentary. Some might be a little disappointed by the focus on the neo-classical prestige buildings and not parts us moderns would find of vastly more interest, like the first Ferris wheel, the first Japanese building in the US, Wild Bill’s show, etc, but it’s still much better than nothing.
