 I had been wanting to check out this new Disneyland book ever since it was published a few months ago, so I decided now was the time since I'll be going to Disneyland again so soon! Like many other Disneyland books, there are chapters about the park history and each of the themed lands which discuss the different attractions and entertainment. What makes this book unique is that it jumps off in different directions to go way beyond park facts, such as exploring the historical facts that inspired a certain attraction or design. For example, there are pages and pages that go into detail about all of the historic American flags flying in Frontierland, and even an overview of each of King Arthur's nights who's heraldry appears on the carousel in Fantasyland! This is both good and bad - it's definitely interesting, but by the time you read a complete "tangent" you really want to get back to the subject, Disneyland! The book is very well designed and printed, with great photos and illustrations. Unfortunately, there are lots of typos and some facts that just weren't checked out - the author repeats several Disneyland urban legends as if they were true, but it's easy to find sources that reveal the hard facts. Putting that aside, this is a great book with a new spin on my favorite place!
