Hello,

I'm wondering if anyone can recommend any good books about DLP? Not guide books, but ones about 'inside secrets', the development about DLP etc. I've had a look on Amazon and have seen some interesting ones about WDW but not DLP. Any help appreciated. Thanks!  :D

I know its kind of a guidebook, but I read this one before my trip and found it really helpful: The Brits Guide to Disneyland Paris. I got it in Borders but it should be on Amazon too.
Mind you, then I found this forum and the best insider tips are definitely to be found here!

From Sketch to Reality - it´s the best book from DLP, but you can´t buy it at amazon I think .... only at Disneyland Parc.

I would strongly recommend From Sketch to Reality, it's by far the best book about DLP (i should know i have two copies! :P ), you can find it in different shops throughout the resort, i got my first copy in the book shop in Main Street and my second copy in the Disney Village.

If though you are also interested in Walt Disney Imagineering, then i strongly recommend the Walt Disney Imagineering book too.  It doesn't have any infor about Disneyland Paris (i think i've not read it all yet) but it's very interesting and gives you inside stories about Imagineering.  You can find this book the same places as From Sketch to Reality.
