Paperback. Condition: Near Fine condition. Second Edition. New York: Exposition Publications, Inc., 1939. An unusually nice copy. Near Fine (but for a small amount of tape residue inside the front and rear covers, apparently from some kind of owner-applied protective cover, no longer present). That protection no doubt accounts for preserving the bright, vibrant colors of this copy's cover, front and back. A clean, tight, square, unmarked copy. Flat spine. No store stamp, owner's name or bookplate. No underlining. No highlighting. No margin notes. Softcover. 5" wide by 8" tall. Illustrated throughout with hundreds of photos, artists' renderings, maps, and sketches. Like the First Edition, this Second Edition was issued before the Fair actually opened. It contains a welcome by Grover A. Whalen; how to get around the Fair; info on Fair financing, housing, guided tours; restaurants; the site; building the Fair; architectural renderings and models of exposition buildings; sculptures; murals; landscaping; color; lighting; theme and purpose; zoning the Fair; amusement area, communications and business systems zone, community interests zone; food zone; government zone, medicine and public health buildings, production and distribution zone; science and education building; transportation zone; concessions; list of exhibitors and concessionaires; etc. Index.
