Book Reviews of The Encyclopedia of Chicago
Book Review: Best source for Information regarding Chicago and the surrounding Suburbs!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a wonderful compulation of information for the avid history fan or an educator within the history field. The book is very well organized and has various maps from different eras. I have to admit that this book was a ten year project by my college Professor Ann D. Keating and her colleagues and that because of this fact I might be inclined to say nothing but good things about the book. The fact is that this is the most complete book that I have ever owned concerning the history of Chicago, and if you can't find it in this book it probably doesn't exist. Happy researching to all those historians out there who want to learn about the Chicago area.
