1939-40 New York World's Fair - Images of America book #1 signed to you

Description

From the publisher's website: "
After enduring 10 harrowing years of the Great Depression, visitors to the 1939–1940 New York World’s Fair found welcome relief in the fair’s optimistic presentation of the “World of Tomorrow.” Pavilions from America’s largest corporations and dozens of countries were spread across a 1,216-acre site, showcasing the latest industrial marvels and predictions for the future intermingled with cultural displays from around the world. Well known for its theme structures, the Trylon and Perisphere, the fair was an intriguing mixture of technology, science, architecture, showmanship, and politics. Proclaimed by many as the most memorable world’s fair ever held, it predicted wonderful times were ahead for the world even as the clouds of war were gathering. Through vintage photographs, most never published before, The 1939–1940 New York World’s Fair recaptures those days when the eyes of the world were on New York and on the future.
My book takes a look at what many feel was the most impressive world's fair ever held. It includes 219 vintage photographs, most of which have never been published before. Published by Arcadia Publishing as part of their "Images of America" series, the book was released on June 15, 2009 to mark the 70th anniversary of the Fair.
