You will also like the Imagineering Field Guides. You should see if you can nab a copy of Beard's Epcot Center. Be careful, though, there is a 127 page version (the small one) and two different versions of the larger one (both 240 pages).<BR/><BR/>Sigh...so many good books out there!Biblioadonis aka Georgehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11023449275486420957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4938171689031143241.post-88972927681204067182008-10-21T22:30:00.000-04:002008-10-21T22:30:00.000-04:00I'm in the middle of this book and LOVING it. It's the perfect combination of storytelling and facts that I enjoy. I bought it after I read Realityland (which I saw here and enjoyed immensely) and it's reaching me the same way.<BR/><BR/>What can I read next? I was going to buy the Disney's Imagineers next. I'm interested in the development of the theme parks more than anything else. I'm still astounded by the reality of Disney World. The more I read about how they make it work, the more I think "How can they possibly make all this work!?"<BR/><BR/>okay.<BR/><BR/>/rantJoannahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15797456436316567807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4938171689031143241.post-56829217108743632602008-08-20T17:11:00.000-04:002008-08-20T17:11:00.000-04:00I was fortunate enough to find a signed copy of this book (by Bob Thomas and Roy E. Disney). It is a treasure in my library and it is a very good read. Combine it with Thomas' "Walt Disney: An American Original" and you have a nice biography of the brothers Disney.

Keep up the Geekiness!<BR/><BR/>I've often thought Roy's story to be quite compelling. Talk about being "overshadowed!" We all owe Roy a great deal of gratitude, since Walt always admitted that he (Walt) would've bankrupted the place several times over if left to his own devices!Mikehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02936929214738391738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4938171689031143241.post-14919400731309869032008-08-11T12:14:00.000-04:002008-08-11T12:14:00.000-04:00About a year ago I was wondering why nobody had ever written a bio on Roy. Then I accidentallyn stumbled across it in the library. Even though you knew basically how the story would unfold, it was neat seeing it from Roy's persepective instead of Walt's. There's two sides to every story.1983horizons1http://www.blogger.com/profile/11011014203964407464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4938171689031143241.post-39988364121639202412008-08-11T09:26:00.000-04:002008-08-11T09:26:00.000-04:00A book I hadn't really heard anything about - but now I'm intrigued and think I will have to try to find a copy to have a wee read of!Princess Feehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16485862437205428525noreply@blogger.com
