OFFICIAL PRICE GUIDE TO WORLD’S FAIR MEMORABILIA -- FIRST EDITION by Richard Friz. 1989, published by House of Collectibles. 355 pp. indexed SOFTBACK. Some photos interspersed throughout, with color plates in the center. At random, there are a few listings circled, but that in no way affects the readability.

Subtitled, “Visions of Empire at American International Expositions 1876 – 1916”. There is a 2” crease line on the rear bottom corner, and there is quite light yellow highlighting on a few lines on random pages, from pg. 11 to pg. 55. The highlighting is very faint and does NOT affect readability. Prior owner’s name atop the 1st blank flyleaf, else VERY GOOD.
