Great book on Chicago’s Society Fashions,
After having seen this exhibit at the FIT in New York City, I bought the book thinking that it would be just like the other books I have on fashion exhibitions of the high society. But this is different, it gives you a brief history the owner of the dress, and when available a photo- bio on the person who wore the dress. Perhpas a bit like a gossip magazine, but nevertheless it is a good thing to know in association to who wore the dress, why she would have bought the dress and where she wore the dress to. Beautifully detailed dresses, great photo shots and a good coffee table book to spark interestng conversation.

|Just Right Crosswords,
The Chicago Tribune Sundays are my favorite crossword puzzle. They are interesting, moderate difficulty, and fun. There is a theme to each puzzle. Once you figure out just what’s up with the theme, it’s fairly easy to get the longer answers. This collection of 250 puzzles is a great deal. I’ve paid about the same for a book of 50 of these.
