If you are into Nostalgia/amusement parks, then this one is a must. It is out of print for sometime, with the limited edition only having 500 copies. The book goes into detail about the park and the family who built/owned it. Lots of interesting pics and one gets a healthy dose of what it was like to be a child growing up in Cleveland, Ohio. Book is factual and a lot of fun,even if you have never been there. The information in the book is invaluable as well as historically correct. The authors went to a great deal of trouble to authenticate and validate their findings. The book is fun as well for children to follow an adult through as the pictures of rides and scenery are incerdible. It also tugs at your heart strings because it is hard to look at something so wonderful and see all the joy it brought to that community, and realize that NOBODY will ever enjoy a sunny day at EUCLID BEACH PARK again. Great reading for anyone.

EUCLID BEACH is Closed For The Season is a must have for Clevelanders who grew up in the area during the first half of the 20th Century. I enjoyed it during the 50's and 60's when all of the Churches, Temples and social clubs went there for their annual picnics. The Rides were amazing and totally thrilling for their day. This book is a warm and interesting nostalgic look at what was once the BEST DAY OF THE YEAR for most of us!! If you lived around Euclid Beach and want a dose of nostalgia, buy this book!!
