5.0 out of 5 stars Paul's Review on " New World of Tommorow"˙ January 1, 2000
By Paul
Format:Hardcover
This book offered me a great chance to see EPCOT Center as it was formed and created. It also looks deeply into each of the origanal rides including both Future World and World Showcase areas. The conceptual art work in this book is also increadible. This book also has many photos of the inside and outside of the rides. For the avad fan or for the first timer I suggest this book

5.0 out of 5 stars The best look at how Disney creates theme park magic June 3, 1998
By Rob4621@aol.com Rob McCullough
Format:Hardcover
I got this book for my birthday in January 1982, the year EPCOT opened. I had memorized every word before my family went in October. This book gives the reader a complete look at how the World's largest construction project at the time was conceived, and built. I'm hoping Disney will release a similar book about its new park AMIMAL KINGODM.

5.0 out of 5 stars Tomorrow that was, wasnt and is no more August 17, 2008
By liplash
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
This is a great book that captures the history of the formation of EPCOT based on concepts that were proposed. Some did not come to fruition. Some were put into place, but have now been replaced by others. This now reads as a history/nostalga book. It is still a fun read. The pictures are beautiful, and the text enjoyable. I have a version that shows ISBN 0810908190 published in 1982, 240 pages as listed here, but has a slightly different cover. I will try to load a photo.

4.0 out of 5 stars wonderful book, full of history
This book presents a great picture of EPCOT on opening. My favorite is how the sponsors changed over time. The future of computing was being defined by Sperry Univac.

This book captures EPCOT the way it was supposed to be; NO Mickey Mouse running around, or Disney themed rides. It was one of the main reasons EPCOT became my favorite park. Read more

Have been looking for a book for some time now that gives a historical background on Epcot. This one is perfect. Many stories about how and why things you see today are in place. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars This book is great!
This book is great is because it's from when Epcot Center was just opening. It was published before the park even opened. Some things it discusses never even made it to the parks! Read more
