Several books are in various stages of development.
Streetcars in Streetscapes: Chicago Streetcars in the Neighborhoods
CERA member Jeff Wien is spearheading a project that is in the early photo selection stage of producing a full color photo book of Chicago's streetcars in the various neighborhoods along with photos of various artifacts relating to the Chicago Streetcar. This will not go in deep into the history, it wil be more of a full color pictorial.
