111 Places in Chicago That You Must Not Miss Revised & Updated by Amy Bizzarri
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I absolutely LOVE this series of travel books. Each entry in the book is basically two pages: one with the text and the other with a very nice photograph. There is a lot of focus on history and off-beat locations. Travel directions, websites and tourist information is always included. What was really helpful to me are the maps at the back showing where all 111 places are located!
I first came across this series in the New York Public Library bookstore - 111 Places in New York That You Must Not Miss -- and it followed me home. I checked this one out of our local public library right before our trip to Chicago. My big mistake was not getting it sooner - like a month before the trip so I would have a chance to delve into all the wonderful Chicago locales that I Should Not Have Missed! Even so, I enjoyed reading more of it after our whirlwind 3-day Chicago tour over Memorial Day. Look for other books in this series; I was surprised by how many have been published!
