5.0 out of 5 stars
The Ferris Wheel Bible!,
By Nathan A. Unterman (Chicago, IL USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Ferris Wheels: An Illustrated History (Hardcover)
This book is the ultimate authority on Ferris Wheels. The history of Ferris Wheels is comprehensive and has copious footnotes. The references go deep. There was one reference that caught my fancy, and after extensive searching, found that it is a reference in one library in England, and shows up no where else! The photographs are good, but not great. An excellent and detailed section on patents related to Ferris Wheels. Anderson has written a super 400+ page reference work. Strongly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars
An informative documentation of the ever-popular amusement park and carnival ride,
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Ferris Wheels: An Illustrated History (Paperback)
A photomechanical reprint of the 1992 Bowling Green University Press edition, Ferris Wheels: An Illustrated History by Norman Anderson is an informative documentation of the ever-popular amusement park and carnival ride. Guiding reader through its remarkable history, Ferris Wheels reveals George Washington Gale Ferris, Jr.'s most creative and timeless constructions through its over one-hundred and ten year history as a key feature for American carnivals and fairgrounds. Profusely illustrated with historical photographs and line drawn sketches, Ferris Wheels is very highly recommended reading and a welcome addition to personal and community library collections.
