Extensively researched, Space Needle: The Spirit of Seattle provides a detailed account of the Space Needle's conception, funding, and construction, as well as its important role in the Century21 World's Fair in 1962 and how it has helped define modern Seattle. Written to help celebrate the Needle's 50th anniversary in 2012, author Knute Berger was made the Space Needle's Writer-in-Residence and given unprecedented access to the building archives. The book features more than 200 images, both historical and contemporary, and is one of the most comprehensive histories of the Space Needle's enduring legacy.
