A friend of mine who is an architect recommended it, and then showed me a bunch of photographs of the Worlds Fair in a book she had that really helped me to visualize the buildings in the book.

Never got back to it and I'm not sure I will. I associate the timing of the read with things I'd rather not dwell on, so there it sits, my place still marked with a bookmark. Having said that, my husband loved it!Leshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08345657431432380804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22500980.post-11930168878406707002007-09-07T09:22:00.000-06:002007-09-07T09:22:00.000-06:00Sounds like a nifty book, and I hope repairs to yo...Sounds like a nifty book, and I hope repairs to your home go well!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22500980.post-78199701049071273382007-09-07T09:08:00.000-06:002007-09-07T09:08:00.000-06:00I enjoyed this book and so did my husband.

I kept going online to look for more pictures of the exposition and buildings. I thought it was all quite interesting. I was surprised at the number of 'firsts' and 'introductions' connected with the fair.SuziQoregonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15552565982732943323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22500980.post-1162156198485992722007-09-07T08:09:00.001-06:002007-09-07T08:09:00.001-06:00You know, I can't believe I haven't read this book...You know, I can't believe I haven't read this book yet!!
