"The World of Tomorrow is a lavishly illustrated celebration of the spectacular 1939 New York World's Fair--just in time for the Fair's 50th anniversary. The Trylon and Perishpere, GM's fanciful Futurama, Billy Roses' Aquacade, Heinz pickle pins--these and thousands of other exhibits and objects made up the unique magic of this greatest of all world's fairs. The World of Tomorrow is re-created, in words and almost 500 striking illustrations, in this extraordinary retrospective, which draws upon the vast resources of Lary Zim's and Herbert Rolfes's acclaimed world's fair collections."--Front inside flap of book jacket.
