<div>A gorgeous and comprehensive look at one of the NBA&rsquo;s most storied and valuable franchises&mdash;from their first season to Michael Jordan and beyond. The Chicago Bulls have been building their highly decorated legacy for five decades now. To this day, the Bulls are one of the most popular teams the world over. Six championships, the league&rsquo;s best-ever single-season record, and perhaps the greatest player of all time will do that, and Bulls fans wouldn&rsquo;t have it any other way. From the beginning, the Bulls have set records. They are still the only NBA expansion team to make the playoffs in their inaugural season with the best record ever for a first-year team. They soared to new heights after drafting Michael Jordan in the 1984 draft. Joined by fellow Hall of Famers Scottie Pippen and coach Phil Jackson, the team won two sets of three consecutive championships in the 90s. The new millennium saw repeated attempts to reignite the magic of the Jordan-era Bulls, but soon a new identity emerged of tough, hardworking team players reminiscent of the Bulls&rsquo; earlier years. The Chicago Tribune Book of the Chicago Bulls is a decade-by-decade look at the pride of the city&rsquo;s West Side produced by the award-winning journalists who have been documenting their home team since the beginning. This beautiful volume details every era in the team&rsquo;s history through original reporting, in-depth analysis, interviews, archival photos, comprehensive timelines, rankings of top players by position, and other features. Profiles on key coaches, Hall of Famers, and MVPs provide an entertaining, blow-by-blow look at the team&rsquo;s greatest successes and most dramatic moments.</div>

<div>A collection of some never-before-published vintage photos that &ldquo;exposes Chicago&rsquo;s underbelly . . . an era full of guns, gore and gangsters&rdquo; (WGLT.org). Created from the Chicago Tribune&#39;s vast archives, Gangsters and Grifters is a collection of photographs featuring infamous criminals, small-time bandits, hoodlums, and more at shocking crime scenes. These vintage glass-plate and acetate negatives were taken from the early 1900s through the 1950s, and they have been largely unseen for generations. That is because most have never been published, only having been witnessed by the photographers and police in the moments after an arrest, crime, or even murder. Included are graphic crime scenes, raw evidence, and depictions of searing emotions, captured on film during a time when photographers were given unprecedented access alongside police. Some photographs resemble film noir movie stills. Some are cartoonish. All feature real people, real drama, and real crimes. Accompanying information about each is included wherever possible, often with archived news stories. Gangsters &amp; Grifters is a powerful, visually stunning look back into the dark story of Chicago&rsquo;s nefarious crime underworld. These fascinating, surprising, and entrancing photos reveal still-unsolved murder mysteries and portraits of notorious gang overlords like John Dillinger and Al Capone. This is a must-have for photography buffs, history lovers, and anyone curious about the seedy underbelly of early twentieth-century Chicago.</div>

Gangsters & Grifters

<div>A visual retelling of the rise and eventual fall of Al Capone, comprised of many never-before-published photographs from the Chicago Tribune&rsquo;s archives. A look back in time to the Roaring Twenties and the early days of organized crime, this collection of historical photos&mdash;taken from 1926 to 1952&mdash;focus on Capone and those connected to him, including his family, mob rivals, and targets. Many of these photographs have never been seen outside of Chicago&rsquo;s Tribune Tower, but all of them are high-quality scans of original glass-plate negatives, making them historically significant to both photography buffs and readers interested in Capone. The introduction by the Chicago Tribune&rsquo;s associate managing photo/video editor details this process in an illuminating, fascinating fashion. The first section gives readers a look inside Capone&rsquo;s luxurious and illicit gangster lifestyle&mdash;vacation homes, mob funerals, gun-toting arrests&mdash;up to the time of the Saint Valentine&rsquo;s Day Massacre in 1929. The second part follows Capone&rsquo;s 1931 indictment, trial, and sentencing on charges of defrauding the government and violating prohibition. The third section introduces readers to a mob target who evaded assassination for decades, and one who was not so lucky. The fourth part follows up with Al Capone&rsquo;s brother, Ralph, and the fifth part focuses on Capone&rsquo;s death.</div>
