3.0 out of 5 stars Only for the most serious of Disney fans, 13 Jun 2007
By Captain EO "No. 7" (Cardiff, Wales, UK) - See all my reviews
Despite swiping up almost every other Disney Parks "Behind-the-Scenes" books that are available I'd long avoided buying this as it appeared maybe a little too heavy & on finally deciding to own it I was indeed correct. It's a finely loaded piece of work with plenty of sketches, photo's & pieces of art to enjoy and there's plenty of text to get your teeth into. In terms of entertaining however, it's far too studious to simply pick up and enjoy. To be fair, the book was produced to accompany a serious study of the impact of the Disney Parks on our society which toured American Museums and it's easy to tell once you flick through the pages.

I usually devour every little tale, anecdote or sketch that fleshes out what went into making the parks but I soon found myself weighed down by the narrative in this particluar offering. It's well written, beautifully researched and will probably teach you more about the far-reaching effects of Walt's amazing offerings than any other book out there but it's not what I look for in a Disney book of this nature.

A nice addition to the collection at the right price but not one for the non-enthusiasts.

4.0 out of 5 stars A dream is hard work, 10 Oct 2003
If ,like me, on your first visit to Disneyworld you stood in front of the station with your mouth open, then this is the book you should buy. The tale of how the Disney parks evolved and the way the cultural strands intertwined is illuminating. This is one book you will revisit.
