The New York World's Fair, 1939/1940: In 155 Photographs by Richard Wurts and OthersThe New York World's Fair 1939 1940 may not have been the greatest of all world's fairs, but it is probably the most fondly remembered of all of them, a spectacle that no one who was there has forgotten. The 700 foot tall Trylon and the 200 foot wide Perisphere are still vivid symbols and memories of a wonderful and lost time for millions of people.

The New York World's Fair 1939/1940 may not have been the greatest of all world's fairs, but it is probably the most fondly remembered of all of them, a spectacle that no one who was there has forgotten. The 700-foot-tall Trylon and the 200-foot-wide Perisphere are still vivid symbols and memories of a wonderful and lost time for millions of people.Do you remember seeing or being told about the vast diorama of Democracity representing the theme of the Fair in 1939, "Building the World of Tomorrow"; GM's Futurama ride; the world's largest mirrored ceiling; 3-D movie; Elektro, a robot seven feet tall; the Town of Tomorrow; Toyland; the Parachute Jump; Bill Rose's Aquacade? The Fair is here in this book which recaptures its abiding images in 155 photographs, 93 of them by Richard Wurts, and catalogs some of its best-remembered artistic and scientific achievements.
There is the typical 1930s decor of the Bauhaus and Art Deco persuasion designed by such top-flight industrial designers and architects as Norman Bel Geddes, Raymond Loewy, Albert Kahn, Morris Lapidus, Edward D. Stone, Skidmore and Owings; its scientific contributions (fluorescent lights, nylon, television); its paintings, fountains, sculptures, and murals by artists like Salvador Dali, Rockwell Kent, Isamu Noguchi, Alexander Calder, Jo Davidson, Carl Milles, Paul Manship; its cultural and popular attractions; personalities like Eleanor Holm, Johnny Weissmuller, H. V. Kaltenborn, and many others.
The detailed introduction relates the history of the Fair and the people and principles involved. The accurate and informative captions give the architects and important statistics of the buildings illustrated, and tell about many more exhibits and features not pictured. You will revisit the New York World's Fair and recapture some of its magic within this book.

A Small Luxury That Makes a Big Difference
Color: Black/Black
I absolutely love these salt and pepper grinders.
They’re sleek, modern, attractive on the table, and honestly much nicer looking than I expected for the price. They even come with their own little caddy, which keeps everything neat and organized and looks great when guests are over.
What I love most is how easy they are to use. You simply press a button and instantly get perfectly ground salt or pepper. No twisting, no awkward grinding with two hands, no effort at all.
I especially love this for pepper because I use a lot of it when cooking things like soups, lentils, and large meals. Before, hand grinding would make my arm tired, and sometimes I’d end up with uneven chunks of pepper. With these, the grind is smooth, even, and consistent every time. You just hold the button and move it around — quick, simple, and efficient.
They also hold a generous amount of salt and pepper, so you’re not constantly refilling them every few days.
Honestly, they make cooking easier, they look beautiful on the table, and they feel much more expensive than they are.
Excellent purchase and a fantastic gift idea.

Great idea, great product
Color: Black/Black
I’ve been using this electric salt and pepper grinder set for a few weeks now and it’s one of those kitchen upgrades you don’t realize you needed until you have it.
the top refill design makes it quick and easy to fill with course salt or peppercorns. It holds a good amount so youre not constantly refilling it
I really appreciate that these grinders are rechargeable, and therefore a little more eco friendly. The battery life has been solid so far, and I haven’t had to worry about it dying mid-meal.
Using it is super simple, It’s truly one-hand, one-button operation, which makes a big difference when you’re cooking. You can grind seasoning while stirring or holding a pan with your other hand. There’s also an LED light that turns on while grinding, so you can actually see how much seasoning you’re adding—small detail, but surprisingly helpful.
There’s a small dial underneath that adjusts the grind size from course to fine. and the salt and pepper come out in a really uniform, consistent grind.
Overall, the pros—easy refilling, rechargeable design, adjustable grind size, uniform results, —definitely outweigh the cons. It’s a practical, stylish upgrade that makes everyday cooking feel just a little easier and more polished.

Great Quality, Easy to Use, and Looks Sharp on the Counter
Color: Black/Black, Color: Black/Black
I’ve been using this electronic salt and pepper grinder set for a bit now, and I’m honestly really impressed.
First off, the one-handed operation is a game changer. Just press the button and you’re good to go—super convenient when you’re cooking and juggling multiple things. The grind is consistent, and the adjustable coarseness actually works well (not just a gimmick like some others I’ve tried).
The build quality feels solid, and I like the clear chamber so you can easily see when you’re running low. The LED light is a nice touch too—it’s subtle but helpful, especially when cooking in lower lighting.
Aesthetically, they look clean and modern. The black finish with the matching base makes them look great sitting on the counter instead of having to hide them away.
Battery life has been good so far, and refilling is straightforward without making a mess.
Overall, these are a big upgrade from manual grinders—more convenient, better control, and they look great. Definitely recommend if you cook regularly or just want something a little nicer in your kitchen setup.

A very good option if manual grinders are problematic
Color: Black/Black
These work well, though I haven’t had them long enough to vouch for charge duration.
They are well thought out devices, with an actual light shining from the bottom to help gauge the amount of salt and pepper, even in lo light. :D
I haven’t not altered the grind size, so I can’t speak to that either. Grind speed is as good as many hand grinders, so it’s a delight specifically when grinding a lot (salt for Margarita glass edges!).
The price was good, and meets my expectations.
