Secrets of the Mouse: An Unofficial Behind-the-Scenes Guide to Disneyland Park
Alan Joyce

CreateSpace, 2008

This guide is intended to be a look at the magic behind the magic of Disneyland Park in Anaheim, and will give the reader a greater appreciation for the incredible efforts and innovations that create the Disneyland experience. If seeing how a magic trick works spoils the fun for you, then you might want to try another guide. However, if you find yourself asking "How do they do that?" when you see an oncoming boulder in Indiana Jones or ...

A great resource
This venerable Walt Disney World guidebook covers all the bases... and then goes further. It has a no-nonsense, cynical tone that is refreshing and sometimes funny. Anyone planning a visit to Disney will benefit from it. Sound strange coming from a competitor? Well, it shouldn't. Though I am the author of The Complete Guide to Walt Disney World, the two books approach Disney from different ...

It's about time!
A fantastic book detailing Disneyland over the years. It's hard to believe that it took this long for someone to compile a history of all the attractions, shops, and shows since the park opened. This book is highly recommended for the many Disneyland fanatics out there. --M Worley, creator of WaltsMagicKingdom.com

The IDA Pro Book Review
I was able to pick up a pre-released copy of The IDA Pro book at Defcon in the vendor area, thanks to Adam from No Starch. This book is not an introduction to reverse engineering, its a hard core manual for IDA Pro. IDA Pro is a critical weapon in any reverser's arsenal, so proficiency in this tool is paramount to your success in reverse engineering. If you are new to IDA Pro you need this book, ...

Fantastic manual to the Mindstorms NXT
I'm a coach of a FIRST LEGO League team and I bought this book to help my son "get to the next level." I am making this book mandatory for every team member next season! It is informative, yet easy to read. It covers all the bases from good robot design to programming explanations. I can't recommend it enough!

Ex Disney Employee says "This book rocks"
I worked for Disney in "the Park," selling skulls and snakes in Adventureland-- right next to the Jungle Cruise at the palm-roofed hut that was once called "Tropical Imports." This was during my undergrad years at the University of California (translation: I worked at Disneyland, and I'm smart). I was born in Santa Monica, my parents met during a dance night at Carnation Gardens in Disneyland, ...

Team members and coaches, you NEED this book!
Oh how I WISH I had this book three years ago when I started my team. It covers just about everything you need to know about starting and keeping a First LEGO League team. From basic teamwork strategies to building and programming tips and tricks, this book has it all. It is the perfect compliment to the official coach's guide provided by FLL. It's informative and easy to read without being ...

Continuing the series of excellent companions to The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen
If you're on this page, it's most likely that you're a fan of Alan Moore's League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. If so, and especially if you're a fan of the details, then these guidebooks are a godsend. I've been waiting for this one for quite some time, and it just arrived a few days ago. Been reading it with the Black Dossier in hand. Just brilliant in my opinion.

Disney in Detail
I purchased this book right before a fall trip to Disney World with my 3 teenagers, and it was the best thing I did. A lot of detailed information about restaurants and tips on where to get good snacks was right on target. We were able to find some wonderful out-of-the-way places to eat for a good value while in the parks that we may not have stumbled upon on our own. The book also recommends ...

A very helpful guide!
I am currently taking a literature course on Harry Potter, it is part of a children's literature minor that I am going for. This book was not required, but I got it in case it was a good supplement - and it is! This book explores roots behind names in their language. It also discusses what the "real" equivalent means to us. For example, how we view dragons (if they were real) versus how they are ...

You have to get this book if going to Disney World!!
This book was a total godsend. It was our first time (with kids), and this book answered every question we had and then some. We never asked anyone anything, if we had a question, we consulted the book. Only thing I wish they would do different is update it annually. Some of the newer rides weren't in it. But didn't make big difference. I absolutely loved this book and highly recommend it! ...

Great book! Will Nikki write a book for Season 3?
My daughter and I got "Lost" in the middle of Season 2, so we bought the DVDs for Season 1 & 2 and read the accompanying chapters from this book as we went along. Enlightening and fun! We hope Nikki Stafford will publish a book for Season 3 before Season 4 starts.
