One recent book that was published locally is A Kid From The Windy City by Lee Stern who is the longest serving member of the Chicago Board of Trade at over 60 years. The book focuses a lot on his personal life experiences growing up and at the CBOT along with ownership in a couple sports franchises, the Chicago Sting of the NASL and the Chicago White Sox. It's a very easy read and a good retrospective of a man from the CBOT who has succeeded in many endeavors.
