Reading all about Chicago can be done online, but what about other methods. You can purchase a number of guidebooks. Below are two recommendations.

Time Out's Chicago provides you with sights, sounds, and places to see in the Windy City. The guide offers neighborhood guide - what to see, eat, and do in each burrow.
