Review

by June Sawyers

Just when you thought you knew all there was to know about architecture in the Loop comes Gerard R. Wolfe's exhaustive and very readable "Chicago In and Around the Loop: Walking Tours of Architecture and History" (McGraw-Hill: $22.95)

Wolfe...presents 12 walking tours of varying length in the central district from the Sears Tower and the Magnificent Mile to Printers Row and River North...Symbols designate which buildings have achieved City of Chicago landmark status and those that are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

...More than just another discussion of Chicago buildings, "Chicago In and Around the Loop" succeeds, through text and image, in capturing the soul of the city.
