Book Reviews of Weird Chicago

Book Review: Both History AND weird
Summary: 5 Stars

Too often, books on "weird history" are LONG on the "weird", and very, very SHORT on "history".
But here, we get a good, well-written history of Chicago.
Spooky stuff is not lacking, but a good picture of Chicago's odd & occasionally bloody history emerges.

Pleasant to read, well-illustrated, & absorbing. Thumbs up for a book both fun & informative.

A recommendation to the authors for the next edition: include a map of the city.
