“The author was briefly our neighbor. He was an interesting, unique, outgoing and generous person. He gave us a copy of his book, and we treasure it. He was also a passholder for Disneyland and enjoyed going regularly. Definitely a character! He recently passed at 79 years old, not long after getting an award for his work on Venice history. We were so glad to read that he had finally been recognized for his work.” - Amazon Review
This is what I call an LOL Book (Labor of Love). Gobs of detailed information on California’s beachside pier amusement parks with jaw-droppingly cool photos. Large trade format lets you really study the details in these historic photographs. Learn all about the Some Kick Roller Coaster, the Toonerville Fun House (named after Fontaine Fox’s comic), the Felix the Cat game concession, One-Eyed Circus, the Flying Carpet, the Mirror Maze, Davy Jones Locker, the scandals, the politics, the people, the builders, and the colorful characters who ran the amusements.
Cover corners bent (see photo). Unmarked, complete, binding solid.
