Jan 1893 · Rand, McNally

Ratings and reviews

Thanks for scanning. I have this book and Official Guide. I love the Rand McNally because it also has plans of the major buildings where the Guide does not. Also the Rand evolved as the Exposition progressed where the Guide was published for the Fair opening and does not have as much info on everyday activities. The Rand has more interesting renderings of more areas and more overall detail. I wish I could find a Rand McNally Handbook on some of the other major expositions. I believe I have one on Buffalo 1901! To be Fair the Official Guide has very clean official renderings and is a good resource. Both have a decent overall plan of Exposition.
