In this book, Michael Lassell delivers a remarkably balanced and intimate portrait of this fascinating Florida town. In all ways, Mr. Lassell's book is far superior to Ross's The Celebration Chronicles and Frantz and Collins's Celebration USA. The text and the scores of beautiful photographs capture the magic of the town and enable the reader to understand why Celebration is considered by many to be the most significant new town to be developed in the second half of the twentieth century.

I bought this, high priced DVD because we just visited Celebration and had read a few things about it. We were thinking about buying a place there, but there is no way that I would do that after watching this film.

The film itself is of 6th grade quality. The people talking are robots (not the type that I would want to have as neighbors), and half of them are either in their kitchens baking or moving out of town because they don't like the way things are going. I can't tell what they are trying to do with the film, but it turned me off to the place, if this is the type of film that would be trying to show you what it's like to live there.

Don't waste your money

This is a great book full of beautiful photos of Celebration. Makes me want to pack up and move there!
