Winner of the National Book Award - "Marvelous . . . You get lost in World's Fair as if it were an exotic adventure. You devour it with the avidity usually provoked by a suspense thriller."--The New York TimesHailed by critics from coast to coast and by readers of all ages, this resonant novel is one of E.L. Doctorow's greatest works of fiction. It is 1939, and even as the rumbles of progress are being felt worldwide, New York City clings to remnants of the past, with horse-drawn wagons, street peddlers, and hurdy-gurdy men still toiling in its streets. For nine-year-old Edgar Altschuler, life is stoopball and radio serials, idolizing Joe DiMaggio, and enduring the conflicts between his realist mother and his dreamer of a father. The forthcoming Word's Fair beckons, an amazing vision of American automation, inventiveness, and prosperity--and Edgar Altschuler responds. A marvelous work from a master storyteller, World's Fair is a book about a boy who must surrender his innocence to come of age, and a generation that must survive great hardship to reach its future. Praise for World's Fair
"Something close to magic."--Los Angeles Times
"World's Fair is better than a time capsule; it's an actual slice of a long-ago world, and we emerge from it as dazed as those visitors standing on the corner of the future."--Anne Tyler
"Doctorow has managed to regain the awed perspective of a child in this novel of rare warmth and intimacy. . . . Stony indeed in the heart that cannot be moved by this book."--People
"Fascinating . . . exquisitely rendered details of a lost way of life."--Newsweek
"Wonderful reading."--USA Today

Great shelves
Size: 24 Inch, Color: White
Easy to assemble and comes with everything you need for drywall or wood. Nice color and texture and comes with stickers to hide the holes underneath. I bought two sets of three. These are very long, so I recommend just using two at a time.

Beautiful, sturdy shelves — perfect for any room!
Size: 15.6 inch, Color: White, Size: 15.6 inch, Color: White
These 16-inch solid wood floating shelves exceeded my expectations. The quality of the wood is excellent — thick, smooth, and very sturdy. They were easy to install, and all the hardware was included. Once mounted, they feel secure and can hold a good amount of weight without sagging.
I love how they add a clean, modern touch to the room. I’ve used them to display small framed photos, books, and decor items in my living room, and they look fantastic. The small ledge is a nice feature too — it keeps things from sliding off easily.
Great for any space — bedroom, kitchen, hallway — and they’re both functional and stylish. Highly recommended!

Perfect shelf
Size: 15.6 inch, Color: White
They look as pictured. The white is nice. These are sturdy and easy to hang. I was worried because I have not had luck with hanging shelves in the past but these were great. Would definitely recommend.

Stylish and Pratical
Size: 15.6 inch, Color: Black
The LaVie Home Floating Shelves are an outstanding addition to my office! This set of four 16-inch picture ledge shelves is not only stylish but incredibly functional.
One of the best features is the front ledge design, which keeps items securely in place and prevents anything from falling off. It’s perfect for displaying photos, books, or decorative pieces without worrying about them sliding off.
Installation was a breeze—the shelves come with clear instructions and all the necessary hardware, making the process quick and hassle-free. They feel sturdy once mounted and add a clean, modern touch to any room.
These shelves offer the perfect balance between aesthetics and practicality. If you’re looking for easy-to-install, high-quality wall storage, these are an excellent choice.

Almost perfect
Love these shelves. They were easy to put up. Gave them 4 stars because they don’t have the stickers to cover their screw holes.
