1939-40 New York World's Fair - Images of America book #2 signed to you NEW!

Description

From the publisher's website: "Falling in between the dark days of the Great Depression and World War II, the 1939–1940 New York World's Fair offered a refreshing prediction for "the World of Tomorrow." There were exciting demonstrations of robot servants, computerized highways, color photography, and a new invention called television. Visitors could tour the latest in model homes, enjoy the marvel of air-conditioning, and watch the newest streamlined steam locomotive in action. America's largest corporations joined forces with nations from around the world to showcase the wonders of a future that was sure to come. There were also displays of past technical marvels, international culture and cuisine, and plenty of the innovative architecture that is a large part of these international expositions. Vintage photographs, most never published before, showcase what has been lauded as the most memorable world's fair of all time."
I was thrilled with my first book on the 1939-1940 Fair, but there was a lot I had to leave out due to space issues. Happily I was able to do this second book that provides more looks at some of the best known parts of the Fair, but it also covers some important areas such as the art at the Fair, projections for future living, and many other seldom seen parts of this amazing extravaganza.
Please look for other book on the Fair and my books on the 1933-34 Chicago's World's Fair, the 1964-65 New York World's Fair, Vancouver's Expo 86, Spokane's Expo 74, Seattle's 1962 World's Fair, and Montreal's Expo 67. I will be glad to combine any purchases to save you on shipping.
