5 comments about One Day at Disney.
- Drink in the sights with this great book. It's not one you would buy to read in detail about the parks as it is 95% photos, but what great photos at that.
If you like the Disney parks, you will love this book. A simple review, for a simple but superb book.
- This book is a must have for anyone who loves disney or theme parks. Each page has amazing pictures of the parks- the kind of pictures that you can just stare at for hours. Also a great book for people who wonder how Disney takes care or the park after hours. An overall great book.
- This is a well done photo tour of all Disney theme parks, foreign and domestic. It shows a lot of the behind the scenes goings on and has very nice full page pictures. If you are looking for information, though, it doesn't have much, it is mostly just a picture book. Well worth it if you enjoy books like this.
- As was once the case with the British Empire, the sun never sets on Disney's theme parks, with little havens of happiness (and profit) around the world -- California, Florida, France and Tokyo, with more just opened (Disney Sea, also in Tokyo) and more coming (Hong Kong).
What this book does, like all the other "A Day at/in..." books, is give you a 24-hour time span. At the same time, it jumps from park to park, showing different aspects of different parks, at different times of the day or night -- with guests streaming in, cast members working, resting, smiling or laughing (if you're looking for a critical eye towards the Disney empire, this is not the book for that), or simply landscapes framed by the good work of Mother Nature and the photographer. For those who haven't traveled the world (and that's most of us), it gives you a detailed view of what the rest of the world sees when it looks at Disney, noting the differences and the similarities. And finally, if you just love the theme park(s), this book will help keep those memories fresh. It works for me.
- I don't remember where I got this at, but even at cover price it's a GREAT book. If you love Disney parks, GET THIS BOOK!! Yes, it's mostly pictures, but being able to see all 4 castles on one page or the differences between the Haunted mansions is really cool. Not much reading, it is mostly pictures. A great coffee table book. Keeps you dreaming/ remembering until the next trip.

1 comments about The Used Book Lover's Guide to the South Atlantic States: Maryland, Washington, Dc, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia and Florida (Siegel, David S. Used Book Lover's Guide Series.).
-
It could have been a great guide. However, the most obvious problem with this books was that it was printed seven or eight years ago. I was using this guide to locate used bookstores in the Washington DC area and only about half of the bookstores listed still exist today. Especially in today's era when so many stores have gone online, an update would have been welcome. Still with stores that currently exist, it is a useful guide for determining what kind of books a certain store sells, pricing, and recomendations.

2 comments about Miami City of Dreams.
- If you want to send someone a feeling of Miami, send them this book! I've lived in Miami about a year and a half and was looking for a pictorial demonstration to send to a friend who has never been here. This book captures and draws you in to all aspects of the city: nature, architecture, culture, glamour, and grit. You can sense the vitality of the city.
- Hi, I just LOVED this book. It shows Miami at its best! The photography is the best I have seen, with colors that seem to jump right off the pages & into your lap. The clarity of each & every picture seems like a photograph in itself. If you would like a book on Miami & its sites,......................THIS IS IT! Congrats to Alan S. Maltz. I was very, very impressed to say the least & it is one book that will always remain on my table (in the family room) for guests to admire & I love to watch their expressions as they ooooh & aaah after each turning page. I live in NYC but the book remains a hit here in the BIG APPLE! I am sure that it took many years of hard labor to bring this book about & I would highly reccomend it, & my compliments once again to some of the finest photography I have seen in any book yet.

1 comments about Guide to the University of Florida and Gainesville.
- If you are researching the origins of Gainesville or the University of Florida this book might come in handy, as it filled with old B+W pictures and stories of turn of the century times. But if you want modern information about the school this book will not provided it.
