This book served as an official souvenir of the Panama-Pacific International Exposition held in San Francisco in 1915, the year following the opening of the Panama Canal.
The book is a comprehensive visual and descriptive guide, featuring detailed illustrations and hundreds of photographs that show the essence and grandeur of the exposition. The Blue Book provides a rich historical snapshot of the event, showcasing the architecture, exhibits, and attractions that drew visitors from around the world. It is a valuable collector's item for those interested in early 20th-century expositions and San Francisco's history.
Note that the front and back are attached but have separated slightly, which happens over time to nearly all old, large, heavy books.
