Get blown away by the Windy City with this beautiful coffee-table book.

Spectacular color photos, including many 24-inch-wide panoramics, take the reader on a virtual tour of Chicago - the queen of the Midwest and the most American of cities.

Sinatra said, "Chicago is my kind of town." See why as the nation's third-largest city and third-largest convention destination is shown in all its glory. View the new Millennium Park, blues bars, Sears Tower, the Wrigley Building, Navy Pier, and other top sights with chapters entitled "The Loop," "Magnificent Mile," "Gold Coast," and "Grant Park Museums."

Though the subject may be "the Second City," this book is second to none.
