Walt Disney’s Disneyland

Really interesting book lots of great photos.

Perfect, many pictures, but little in size than u expect!

POSITIVE: Taschen publisher is known for high end, well-produced books, and this is that. I LIKE the photos a LOT. I was born in 1951, and went to Disneyland the year it opened, so this book brings back my childhood. I also bought the softcover "Walt's Disneyland: A Walk in the Park with Walt Disney" by Marcy Smothers, and of the two I prefer this one by Chris and Carlene Nichols, because this book by the Nichols has more intimate, and better selected photos of Walt Disney, and more of Disneyland itself. The Smothers book is full of "PR moments" ("say CHEESE!), though I would not give up my Smothers book, because some photos in that one are endearing, like Walt in a "bobsled" car as the Matterhorn ride is starting. Matterhorn was the first "really fast" ride. To compensate for the very small-sized Nichols book, the margins are either absent or 3/16 inch (less than 1/4"). I would have liked this better as a coffee table book, & I was shocked to see the size because I did not scroll far enough right to see the size before I ordered. The cost seemed what I would expect to pay for a full-sized book. Note that description says size is 5.51" x 0.63" x 7.68". The height is about the length of my palm and fingers, and the width not much wider than my palm and closed fingers.

Un joli petit livre en anglais pour tous les fans de Disneyland et des artistes géniaux qui ont conçu les attractions cultes du parc sous l'impulsion du grand Walt.

A must have for every Disneyland fan! It’s a densely rich wealth of Disneyland history that will have you see the park through a new lens the next time you visit! And if you happen to be buying this before your first trip, you are sure to enjoy your visit far more than you would have otherwise. Think of it as reading the book before watching the movie, you’ll be the one smiling while everyone else is confused and unaware of the massive plot twist that just went over their heads.
