EUCLID BEACH PARK IS CLOSED FOR THE SEASON (1977)

        By Lee Bush, Ed Chukayne, Russell Hehr, and Richard Hershey.
        This is a detailed history of the famous Ohio, U.S.A. park
        and the family that owned it for most of its 75 years of
        operation. Contains over 400 illustrations. *(Highly recommended. 
        Although this is the by-now usual story of the rise and fall of a 
        traditional amusement park, there are two big differences. 
        First, it is heavy with detail of the evolution of the park, and 
        loaded with well-reproduced photos & illustrations. The authors have 
        done a tremendous job of research, organization and analization of the
        material. The result is a hugely entertaining and well-written book.
        Euclid Beach was unique in that it purchased and operated several
        fairly rare rides -- a 1929 Miller & Bartlett "Flying Turns," a 1921
        Prior & Church Racing Derby, and a four-row 1910 PTC wooden carousel. 
        Euclid Beach also owned a beautiful 1923 PTC wooden coaster, The
        "Thriller", as well as a 1913 Miller double "Racing Coaster". All are
        described and pictured in extensive detail.

 (Continued)

           Euclid owners, the Humphrey family, were also unique.  The founder
        was Dudley Humphrey, who opened a popcorn stand with his own patented
        popper at Chicago's Columbian Exposition in 1893. From that one stand,
        the enterprise grew and in 1901, the Humphrey family purchased Euclid
        Beach Park, which it owned and operated until 1969. So it's also a 
        story of persistence, foresight and dedication as well.) Book review
