"Perusing this book, delving into the entries, appreciating the
expanse and variety of entries included, you come away with an
understanding of the city of Chicago. More important, you come away
understanding the impact this city has had on the nation and the
world."-- "Publishing Research Quarterly"
"The perfect study of the perfect library of the perfect Chicago
provincial. . . Absorbing."-- "Chicago Tribune"
"As one would expect from the Caxtonians, the production value is
high--the book is brimming with images of first editions and
related illustrations, ephemera, and photography--and the content
is a delightful miscellany."-- "Fine Books & Collections"
