SIGNED LIMITED EDITION POSTER PROMOTING CHICAGO'S GRAND MIDWAY BOOK LOT #153

Description

WE HAVE SPECIALIZED IN THE WORLD'S COLUMBIAN EXPO FOR 40 YEARS--RESEARCHING, WRITING, COLLECTING AND SELLING.
FOR THOSE UNFAMILIAR WITH THE HISTORY BANK, WE (PARTNERS NORMAN BOLOTIN AND CHRISTINE LAING) HAVE SPECIALIZED IN COLUMBIANA ON EBAY SINCE 1998. WE HAVE WRITTEN TWO HISTORIES OF THE FAIR, AN OVERVIEW IN MULTIPLE EDITIONS PUBLISHED BY THE NATIONAL TRUST FOR HISTORIC PRESERVATION, AND "CHICAGO'S GOLDEN MIDWAY" FROM THE UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS PRESS. THE PRESS ALSO PUBLISHED OUR FIRST BOOK IN SOFTCOVER AFTER THE TRUST AND IT HAS BEEN A MAJOR REFERENCE SINCE 2002.
WE ALSO HAVE AN EDITORIAL BLOG (NO SALES)--WORLDSCOLUMBIANJOURNAL.COM--WHICH IS STRICTLY AN EDITORIAL AND NOT A SALES SITE!
TO SAY THAT WE HAVE A PASSION FOR THE 1893 FAIR IS A  MINOR UNDERSTATEMENT.
WE NEVER SELL COLUMBIAN REPRINTS OR NEW MATERIAL. THIS IS A SLIGHT DEPARTURE IN THAT IT IS NEW ARTWORK USED EXCLUSIVELY FOR THE SEMINARY CO-OP BOOKSTORE IN CHICAGO. POSTERS IN THE STORE AND THE WINDOW PROMOTED MY TALKS AND WALKING TOUR WHEN WE INTRODUCED THE BOOK IN 2017.
THE TALKS WERE AT THE TERRIFIC BOOKSTORE JUST AROUND THE CORNER FROM THE MIDWAY. THE SEMINARY CO-OP BOOKSTORE IS ONE OF AMERICA'S TRULY OUTSTANDING INDEPENDENT BOOKSTORES. THE POSTER IS NUMBERED FROM 1 OF 25. IT IS THE SAME SIZE AS THE WINDOW POSTER AT THE STORE, 8.5X11 ONLY ON A HEAVIER, FINE PAPER. THE POSTER, SIGNED BY ME (NORM BOLOTIN) AND THE POSTER'S ARTIST. HIS UNIQUE STYLE IS OFTEN SEEN AT MUSIC AND CONCERT VENUES--AND HE'S MY SON AND I'M RATHER PARTIAL TO HIS ARTWORK.
PLEASE LOOK AT THE MANY COLUMBIAN LOTS WE HAVE ON SALE NOW AND WATCH EBAY FOR SOME INCREDIBLE FAIR ITEMS.
WE WILL SEND THE POSTER(S) FLAT IN A HEAVILY PADDED ENVELOPE. WE HAVE JUST TWO LEFT TO SELL.
AND, WHILE IT STILL FEELS AS IF MY MIDWAY BOOK IS BRAND NEW, WE WILL BE PUBLISHING OUR THIRD COLUMBIAN EXPO BOOK IN 2021--COLUMBIAN RARITIES. CONTACT US FOR MORE INFORMATION OR WATCH OUR BLOG AND EBAY LISTINGS FOR UPDATES AND ORDERING INFORMATION THROUGHOUT 2021.
