What is Selected bibliography : Illinois, Chicago and its environs about?

A Bibliography of Illinois, Chicago and Environs is part of the inheritance of treasures left to us by the WPA in the late 1930's and early 1940's. The rest of that national trove includes over 1,000 books, pamphlets and radio scripts. The best known part of this cache of research, scholarship and good writing is the collection of state guides the WPA issues. In recent years, a number of publishers have reprinted the state guide volumes and several of the city guides. The bibliography at hands was compiled as part of the research and work on the Illinois Guide by the Federal Writers Project of Illinois. The Illinois writers did their work well. This work is a solid, broad-scoped and thoughtfully-selected bibliography of Illinois, Chicago and environs. It provides a list of classics as well as less-known books about this city and state in their first 100-plus years. In the quality of WPA research and writing, few states equaled or surpassed Illinois, which could boast such writers as Jack Conroy, Richard Wright, Willard Motley, Saul Bellow, Studs Terkel, Curtis MacDougall and Nelson Algren. This bibliography offers a good resource for all who want to look at Illinois and Chicago in
