Looking for Disney travel guides

Post by figmentaholic » Jul Sun 01, 2012 9:13 am

I am not sure if this is allowed here, so forgive me if it is not, I will delete it if I need to.


I am a collector of Disney travel guides, such as the Birenbaum guides and the unofficial guides from Selinger and Testa. I am sure there are some fans here who have some that maybe are taking up space or would be willing to get rid of.

I am looking for ones for Walt Disney World, the older the better. The oldest I have so far is a Frommer's guide for 1983-1984. I would think there would be older ones but I have not found any yet.

Of course I am willing to pay for them, I have gotten these guides from various places used from between $1-4 dollars, and I have the last few Unofficial Guides (from 2009-2012) new as well.


So if anyone is willing to sell (or give) me old guides, just PM me here and we can discuss it. :)

If only I was at home. Our 1998 Birnbaum is lying about somewhere.

I found a guidebook from 1983 at the library once. That was a blast to read! Who knew Biergarten used to have an actual menu? :D

They did? Hmm.. I will have to see what my guide says, I am not sure I looked at restaurants.

But whenever you get home, I don't think I have a 1998 Birnbaum, I would definitely like that.. :)

The home I am speaking of is Mississippi, goodness knows when I'll be up there.

I might have a couple lying about at home here in Florida, I'll have a look around my room later on this evening. Living so close to the Mouse, I don't need them anymore.

Oh, oops. I apologize. I thought you meant you were at work, hahah :)

Alright, I would greatly appreciate it. Even if we move back to Florida, I doubt I will stop collecting them. :) (maybe I will just stop getting the new ones) :lol: :lol:
