Seattle World’s Fair

Books & Magazines

A substantial number of magazines, books, pamphlets and newspapers were produced for the 1962 Seattle World’s Fair. Life Magazine dedicated two issues to the Seattle World's Fair, one before the fair opened and one after. Time magazine and even National Geographic published articles about the fair. The Seattle Times published a special edition newspaper that was the single largest edition in history ever published up to that date. Guide books and pictorial books were published and after the fair, a history book was also published. Some of the books that were published can be found on other pages of this web site as they pertain to a specific group.
