sketches, and paintings from Disney Legends such as Herb Ryman,
Marvin Davis, and John Hench. The Disney Monorail: Imagineering a

Disney history."--DisneyMatters.com
"On almost every page of this 208-page volume you will find concept
art, historical photos, and graphic art that would distinguish the
walls of any Disney fan's home. It seems a shame to keep them
hidden inside a book, where you can ogle no more than two pages at
a time . . . Want to know the differences between each of the Mark
series monorails that have run in the Disney parks? The service
dates for each monorail train? The Disney Monorail
delivers."--Robert Niles, ThemeParkInsider.com
