From Sister Carrie to Playboy and from The Jungle to Nature's Metropolis, this collection of short essays will cast Chicago's history in a unique light, while also illuminating the bibliophilic history of the books, magazines, and other printed objects that have shaped the city and the way people think about it."--Supplied by publisher.
