This softcover (c. 2003) came in a small batch of books during May/June, 2024, to the Little Free Library of Twinbrook (#7720). Thank you! This book came from an anonymous donor.

I read another copy of this book in 2005. This is what I wrote after I read it:

This is the story, taking place over 100 years ago, of the planning, creating and staging of the World’s Fair in Chicago and of the serial killer, Dr. H. H. Holmes, who is wiping out people in the same geographical area at the same time. Rich with historical data, the book is at times slow, but always has an underlying current of fascinating facts and data, whether it be the idea of a Ferris wheel higher than the Empire State Building or the theory of how a lady’s footprint became embedded in Holmes’ door. This is certainly not a fast or easy read, but one which is very satisfying with its contents of love, history, engineering, catastrophe, marvels, and death. You might spend a little more time on this book than you would on an easy novel, but your time will be well spent in the throes of this very talented non-fiction author.

This was in the book buffet at this year's holiday party. I have picked up this book a couple of times at my local thrift store and kept not coming home with it, so I thought since it was at our meetup, I would go ahead and give into my curiosity and bring it home! It also seems like something my mom might enjoy reading, too!

Well, I was right about my mom maybe enjoying it. Because she's already read it and enjoyed it! And I guess I gave in to all the looking at it at the thrift store, because I some point I finally bought it! Ha ha!! So, I'm brining it back to a meeting and if no one is down, then I'm sure it will find its way to Kensington this year. :-)

This book came home with me from today's BC-in-DC meeting for me to release.
