Liebling's 1952 tongue-in-cheek book about Chicago, but they belong on the same elevated bookshelf of Chicago classics. The series in The New Yorker that this book is based on elicited a slew of protests from Chicagoans, which Liebling answers in this witty volume."Elizabeth Taylor, The Chicago Tribune "Good entertainment. The book is attractively designed, the illustrations are first-rate and Mr. Liebling can write."New York Times "Mr. Liebling's entertaining book can be highly recommended."New York Herald Tribune "He has shown his readers in his lively, sardonic style exactly the split-personality city that he feels Chicago to be."San Francisco Chronicle
