The 1962 Seattle World's Fair by Bill Cotter (2010, Paperback) - signed to you

Description

SEATTLE'S 1962 WORLD'S FAIR
When the United States entered the 1960s, the nation was swept up in the Space Race as the United States and the Soviet Union competed for supremacy in rocket and satellite technologies. Cities across the country hoped to attract new aerospace companies, but the city leaders of Seattle launched the most ambitious campaign of all. They invited the whole world to visit for the 1962 Seattle World's Fair, and more than nine million people took them up on the offer. A colorful collection of exhibits turned 74 acres of rundown buildings into a futuristic wonderland where dozens of countries and companies predicted life in the future. The entire city was transformed with the addition of the soaring Space Needle and the futuristic monorail. When the fair ended, the site became a complex of parks and museums that remains a vibrant part of Seattle city life today.

This book was a real treat to put together, as I really enjoyed the opportunity to go through my collection of photos from the Fair looking for ways to convey how majestic it was. I tried to stay away from re-using the standard and staged publicity photos seen in most other books about the Fair, hoping to capture instead what a day might have been like for the average visitor. I hope that you will enjoy the results.
Please look for my books on the 1939-40 and 1964-65 New York World's Fair, Vancouver's Expo 86, and the 1984 New Orleans World's Fair. I will be glad to combine any purchases to save you on shipping.
