These two books are a great collectible related to the 1892 - 1894 Chicago World's Fair Columbian Exposition. To use them, simply open the pages and start reading to learn about the history and stories from that time. When handling these books, be gentle because the covers are loose, spines are torn, and the binding is weak. To maintain them, store them in a dry and cool place away from direct sunlight. Avoid getting them wet as the pages are already in a somewhat delicate condition. If you want to display them, use a proper bookstand or shelf to prevent further damage.
