Great Chicago Stories is a collection of favorite Chicago stories and companion black & white photographic portraits of sixty of the city’s notables. The book provides, in words and pictures, a modern portrait of Chicago that extends well beyond the city’s well-worn stereotypes. Chicagoans past and present featured in the book include Studs Terkel, Roger Ebert, Sara Paretsky, Jesse Jackson, Tim Kazurinsky, Daryl Hannah, Koko Taylor, Joe Mantegna, Buddy Guy, David Mamet, and poet Gwendolyn Brooks, among others.

A Chicago bestseller (after being out of print for over 10 years) is now available in extremely limited editions. Prints may be special ordered in 17 X 22 size.
