SYNOPSIS: All the fun of the fair . . . The fifty millions who went to Expo ate 11,339,759 hot dogs - enough, someone calculated, to stretch from Montreal to Regina. The grins on the faces of the multitude stretched only from ear to ear but there was never a doubt that Expo had really pulled it off. In London, the papers said, "It's A Solid Hit!" . . . in Paris, "Everyone Is Talking About It!" Another writer said, "Expo has glitter, sex appeal . . ." Senator Robert Kennedy, with his family in tow, said, "Enough of this education stuff. Let's go to La Ronde and have some fun!" People splashed shrieking down the Flume Ride or gasped in the Gyrotron, or buried their noses in green candy floss. They took moonlight rides by gondola, fondled the far-out sculpture, and shot millions of feet of home movies. For Expo was meant to be fun; it was "designed for nothing less than the glorious purpose of making people happy to be there." This book shows just how completely it succeeded. The greatest show on earth . . . Here is a unique pictorial record of Expo 67, the great world's fair which took place on the man-made islands in the St. Lawrence River in the summer of 1967. Three of Canada's finest photographers were assigned to the summer-long task of capturing the essence and the élan, the brilliance and the bite of Canada's towering centennial achievement. The author of the text lived at Expo for the duration of the fair, writing a daily column for Canada's best-known newspaper. It ran from April 28 to October 29 and 50,306,648 people pushed through the turnstiles - fifteen millions more than even the optimists expected. It set the whole world talking about Canada and gave this country a sparkling new image at home and abroad. With 108 full-colour plates. The author, Robert Fulford, spent four months at Expo as the special correspondent of the Toronto Star. In his daily column, he usually discusses books and art. Now 35, he has been writing for 17 years; he is married to a journalist and they have two children. John de Visser came to Canada from Holland in 1952 and quickly won a reputation as one of the country's best photographers. Peter Varley, 46, began his distinguished career on the West Coast at 14. He is the son of Group of Seven's Frederick Varley. Harold Whyte travels out of Toronto on assignments for Canada's top magazines. His hobby is electronic colour analysis. Size: 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall.
