When will we get a definitive guide about the windows at all the parks? Looks like there may be one on the horizon...

Have you read Ellenshaw Under Glass? I've never seen any sort of review of this book.
Hey Craig, I'm currently about 3/4 through Ellenshaw under glass. I will post a review in Passamaquoddy soon after...
Hi George,
Glad to hear you guys had a great time out here. I love Disneyland and I love the Magic Kingdom. I hope you come out again soon.

The Brush with Disney Book is one of the most beautiful dust jackets I have ever come across. I would use the word alluring but I am uncertain if that can apply to something that is not alive. Maybe it is alive and that is why I find it so compelling.
Ordered my "Designing Disney" by Hench last night. Thanks for the Amazon link - found it new for $28.00. If this pans out to be true I will consider it a steel.
