Book Description
Anderson (North Carolina State University) is clearly obsessed with the Ferris Wheel. He describes the conception and construction of the first example--at the World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago, 1893. Imitators and variations are described and illustrated with period photos and patent drawings. An appendix contains 115 pages of patent drawings. A charming, unique book (that will win no graphics awards). Paper edition (unseen), $29.95. Annotation copyright by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
