The first in the City Edition series of books by Trope Publishing Co., Chicago showcases a unique view of one of the most photographed cities in the world by 27 independent photographers from Chicago and beyond. This carefully curated and beautifully bound collection of 206 stunning photographs offers a perspective of Chicago as it has never been seen before. Collectively, the photographs represent a distinctive urban view of the city. The Chicago Edition is divided into eight chapters, primarily focused on the lakefront and downtown areas showcasing iconic buildings, streets and parks. Each chapter is accompanied by a map along with the locations where the photographs were taken. The images reflect the interests of the photographers rather than serving as a comprehensive guide to the city. In many cases, there are several photographs of the same location, shot at different times of the day, in different seasons, with different tones. These studies offer a strong point-of-view, whether digitally processed, filtered, toned, or sharpened ― giving each image a contemporary and urban sensibility. Editors Sam Landers and Tom Maday spent nearly a year identifying and meeting with the photographers and meticulously editing their portfolios to produce this unique book. “While the photographers come from all walks of life, they share a common passion to visually capture their city like never before,” said Landers. “They demonstrate incredible resolve and discipline – shooting tirelessly day and night, in rain and snow, to get ‘the shot’– resulting in images and perspectives that few Chicagoans experience,” added Maday.

Title: Perfect!
Review: I'm not a big fan of photography books, but when I saw this one, I fell in love! The paper is good quality, and the photographs are done in such a way that they feel cohesive, even though they are by different photographers. I have purchased this book as a gift, and recommended it to people to buy as a chicago momento. It shows Chicago in all it's moods - the windy winters, the foggy/rainy day springs. The way the city lights permeate the snow storms, and all the seasons of the lake. I tell everyone that if I ever move out of Chicago, this is the ONLY book I want to have to remind me of this city.

Title: Stunning Gift
Review: We gifted to friends who moved away from Chicago. They loved the book and spent an afternoon flipping through pages and calling out their favorite haunts. I purchased a second copy for my home. It's a beautiful piece filled with glorious photos of the city and surrounding areas and delightful snippets of Chicago architecture and history. Hardcover with lay-flat binding makes this the perfect feature to leave out on a coffee table and invites those nearby to flip through its pages.

Title: Nice coffee table book
Review: Bought this as a guestbook for our wedding. It is definitely dark and moody, but that's what we liked about it. I also liked the matte pages. The imagery is beautiful and I like the break out of the different areas - note, it focuses on the downtown areas.

Review: Ich bin zugegebenermaßen kein großer Fan von Bildbändern, aber als ich diesen in einem Souveniershop in Chicagoer Hancock-Tower gesehen und drin geblättert habe, war ich echt geflashed und musste mir diesen dann in Deutschland direkt bestellen (er ist sehr dick und schwer). Enthalten sind echt tolle Bilder, welche teilweise recht stark bearbeitet sind, für Puristen vielleicht eher weniger geeignet, aber meinen Geschmack hat es voll getroffen. Mein erster Bildband, top!
