Hi! I love Disney books, I've got a growing collection myself, and have a question! I'm an information kinda gal and so are books number 2, 12, 19 and 21 worth it more in that sense? Facts and whatnot? Although I might get them anyway.
I've read all of koenigs books and LOVE them, as well as cast member confidential.
#2 is a good book with a lot of great retro pictures of Disney World. It seems there are more pictures than text, though. But it's still a great book to add to your collection.
#12 is very text-heavy, and goes into detail about the design processes of Disneyland and WDW shows and rides. It's definitely not a souvenir book of pictures -- there's a lot of information in it.
#19 is a MUST-HAVE for fans of Disney World and Disney information. It is filled with the history of WDW and all of the parks, resorts and attractions. The author gives a lot of "inside scoop" stories and other offbeat topics not found in most WDW books. It's similar to Realityland, but it's filled with pictures. Definitely worth it.
#21 is also a MUST-HAVE for WDW fans. It's a huge coffee-table-style book, filled with pictures, drawings, concept art and other media relating to Disney Imagineering and the design/creation/production of Disney parks and resorts. I believe they're coming out with an updated edition sometime soon, so I would definitely wait for that one.
I have #2 and #6 and the text and pictures are similar. Is #4 about the same as well? For some reason it is more rare than the other two. Is it worth tracking down?
#4 is very much the same as the other two. If you have #6, then there is no reason to get #4. It is almost identical, except it doesn't have the chapter about MGM Studios. Otherwise it is pretty much the same and isn't worth going out of the way to track down.
Thanks for the quick response, Zach! Glad to know there's another one I can cross off the list. :D
