I got my copy last week and think it is a very good book for the serious Disney parks fan. The 261 book chronicles his work and I think is a must-have for the "serious" Disney parks fan. One thing though, he only is ever going to print 2,000 copies (with the first 1,000 signed by Bob) and the better part of a 1,000 were sold before the first one shipped (a lot of Disney Fans know Bob). So if you are interested you better decide fast or pay a big premium to get on on EBay. The books can only be bought directly from Bob Gurr's web site at: www.bobgurr.com/ . They are kind of pricy at $58.95 + $11.25 shipping (plus Tax if you are in CA.), but they are a very limited edition. BTW, I have no connection to Bob other than being a fan of his work and enjoying his talks in the past and would like my friends at Laughingplace to have a shot at getting a book before they become EBay-ware.

Originally Posted By karlg FYI, I ordered a backup copy and got it today about 3 days later. The book was number 790, so he is only 220 away from selling out the "limited edition red" edition of 1,000. After that there will be just 1,000 unsigned blue books (less a few since some people bought a red and a blue book already). KarlG

Originally Posted By karlg >"It looks this this book is more about non-Disney rides and attractions - is that true?" No, the book is about 75% about Disney Attractions, about 5% Bob Gurr's personal history, and about 20% other attractions/shows Bob worked on. KarlG
