  2. Review: "Power to the People" edited by Geoff Kaplan

    One of Chicago's treasures is the microfilm archive of alternative newspapers housed in Harold Washington Library. I'm particularly fond of exploring the Seed, the Chicago periodical that helped Mayor Richard J. Daley's less loyal subjects prepare for the 1968 Democratic National Convention. I've marveled at the content (pot dealers advertising their street corners of choice, Huey Newton clip-n-collect cards), but thanks to the splotchy black-and-white microfilm, I was never enchanted by the graphic design. Seeing the magnificent Seed covers reprinted in full-color glory in Geoff Kaplan's coffee-table book "Power to the People" was eye-opening (literally — my eyes actually widened).
