Within the 326 pages of this book are high-quality photographs of over 300 physical artifacts from the fair, essays on the history of the fair and key contributors of the fair, and a handful of photos from individuals who had a chance to experience the event in person. 

Unfortunately, as each day passes the memory of the fair grows more and more faint. The interesting and nuanced history of the fair is quickly becoming compressed into a handful of stock photos and talking points while vibrant collections of artifacts from the fair sit hidden in personal collections and in the corners of eBay. These artifacts could be a generation away from being forgotten and this high-quality art book aims to preserve a piece of these collections. 

This book provides an alternate perspective to the fair. This book is not a comprehensive catalog of souvenirs from the fair. Rather it is archive of our extensive curated collection of artifacts that are aimed to provide a raw and un-sanitized perspective that is not easily found when researching the fair.
