Chicago: City on the Make

Garden City: Doubleday, 1951. First Edition. Hardcover. Fine/Very Good. Fine in a Very Good jacket, unclipped ($1.50), generally soiled, some chips and scuffs at the spinel. Quarter black buckram with gray cloth on the boards. Square and firmly bound with a dark topstain, clean internally. From the jacket: "Here is the story of the whole spectacular span, the pulsating history of the growth of a great metropolis. This is no guidebook, no almanac of geographical data or statistical reportage. It is instead a giant panoramic painting of a tumultuous city in all its vivid colors, a prose picture by an artist-writer forever enamored with his favorite model.
