Description: The ILLINOIS BLUE BOOK originated in 1861 as a privately published roster of legislators. Over time they evolved into historical publications complete with biographies, articles, photographs, and helpful information about Illinois. They are a comprehensive source of state government information. This 1958-1959 edition is like a time capsule of the 1950s, when Ike was President, Richard Nixon was Vice President, and the press corps was all male except for the correspondent of the Peoria Journal-Star. This is a treasure trove of information that would be of immense value to historians and a fun read to dip into for anyone interested in mid-century America. It is loaded with photographs, such as the interior view of an early computer in the drivers license division, run by vacuum tubes and miles of wiring. Good condition. Navy blue covers have some wear and bumps at the corners. Text is unmarked and clean. Sturdy library binding is in very good condition.
