There are also two books available about Disney's two most popular attractions: "The Haunted Mansion" and "Pirates of the Caribbean."
I know they had a book in Disneyland called Disneyland: The Nickel Tour by Bruce Gordon and David Mumford but I can't find it anywhere. If anyone know's details on this book, please let me know. All the tour guides at WDW and DL recommend this book!
Are you looking for books about the parks or about Walt Disney?

Not mean, but try a thread search for books. There`s some large lists of members collections of park-specific books.

I have Epcot, MK and AK version of these. They are great! :wave:

I have the HM book. It has a lot of information in it about how the attraction was conceived and leads into the movie.

Any of the Imagineering books are good. Of corse this is coming from someone who yearns to know everything about imagineering.

You may also want to try the Official Guide to Walt Disney World book...
But, I find it less informative.

Marni1971's so modest. He has probably the world's definitive collection of Disney park books ( OK, so maybe Dave Smith at the Disney archvies has him beat by one or two. :animwink: ) Do an advanced forum search, search term "ISBN" and user "Marni1971"

EDIT: Fark the search.

Here's his list...

I had seen the list before but not the picture - WOW that is an awesome collection!

He is more impressive than mine because his are on a shelf. :lookaroun

Some of those books aren't available at any research libraries in the country (that participate in interlibrary loan). That really says something about that collection...

This is a new book I just recently read. It's got all the usual park guide stuff, but the pictures are truly remarkable. It's a very up-to-date guide (includes the Monsters Inc. show!) and the price is very reasonable. Frankly, it's worth it just for the incredible color photos.

Okay - I`m a little shy about my collection. I don`t want to seem as if I`m bragging. The latest list is here http://forums.wdwmagic.com/showpost.php?p=1538192&postcount=3 though it`s missing a few recent additions.

I just finished "How to be like Walt Disney". And I found myself saying, "huh, I've never heard that before" quite a few times while reading it. Just when you think you know it all, you find out you're wrong. :lol:

Someday I'm going to have a HUGE Disney room and I will have the huge big books with all the pictures! Someday... But right now I settle on Passporter, Unofficial WDW, Hidden Mickeys, and Official Birnbaums.
