Palisades Amusement
Park:
A Century of Fond Memories
Autographed
Book
Originally published in 1995, "Palisades Amusement Park: A Century
of Fond Memories" became the fastest seller in the history of Rutgers
University Press. It has been unavailable for several years. This best selling book is
finally back and now available in a soft cover edition.
With its two hundred pages and a foreword by the legendary
Cousin Bruce Morrow, this oversized coffee table book captures
every fond memory of the famous New Jersey fun spot: the
vinegar-soaked french fries, the Tunnel of Love, the world's
largest outdoor salt water pool, and so much more.
This newly revised edition includes an all new Photo
Scrapbook... 20 new pages with over 100 new photographs. The
book also features an
introduction to the soft cover edition and updated information
throughout the book to make this the most comprehensive work ever on the history of
Palisades Amusement Park.
In the foreword of the book, Cousin Brucie recalls,
"Palisades was an integral part of our lives. Anybody who has
played, visited, or been touched by this magical kingdom retains
the glow from a very special relationship." For those who ever
visited Palisades Amusement Park, this book is sure to bring
back those cherished remembrances. And for those never lucky
enough to have entered its colorful gates, Palisades Amusement
Park: A Century of Fond Memories will recreate the thrills,
laughter and joy that was Palisades.
The book will be autographed by
the author exclusively for the visitors to PalisadesPark.com.
This book will make the perfect gift for anyone on your
gift list.
