This oversized ledger book provides an unfiltered, fascinating look at Chicago during the height of the Prohibition and Jazz Age eras. These specific dates feature front-page national and local news, vintage 1920s advertisements, and classic comic strips. It also includes extensive coverage of Labor Day 1926 and the legendary sports figures of the era.Condition:Antique/vintage condition with visible historic wear. Unlike later preserved volumes, this book is unwrapped and shows external shelf wear, scuffing, and spine aging similar to mid-1930s library archives. The heavy binding remains structurally intact and has successfully protected the interior pages. Expect typical age-related toning, browning, edge wear, or minor flaking to the newsprint pages consistent with a century-old paper archive.
Please see the photos for a closer look at the external labels, binding condition, and page edges.
Shipping & Pickup:Ships securely via UPS Ground or USPS Ground Advantage (please note this is a massive, very heavy oversized item; it does not qualify for Media Mail due to vintage advertisements).Local pickup is also available in the Chicagoland / Lake County, IL area to completely wave shipping fees.
Seller Note: I am also listing a matching lot of three archival Chicago newspaper books covering 1935, 1946, and 1949. Check my other listings if you are interested in a larger chronological collection!
