About this Item
Description:
First edition signed by 2 authors: Dhristopher Merritt and J. Eric Lynxwiler on title page and dated 2013. A FINE FIRST IN DJ. Seller Inventory # ckbk7/2/19
Synopsis:
How could one place have the world's best boysenberry preserves (no, Aunt Susan's isn't better!), world-class roller coasters and Independence Hall too? Where does a Ghost Town exist alongside a 360-foot Sky Jump, while people wait three hours for a chicken dinner? KNOTT'S PRESERVED reveals how the Knott family turned a berry business into one of the major theme parks in the world. Artists and designers will flip at the details the authors display -- the how-it-happened of Knott's from the earliest days. Berries and fried chicken were a just a yummy lead-in to what would become a thrills capital of the world. Plus, it's a story of how a man and a woman remained true to their values, sharing profits and credit whenever they could. Heartwarming? Yes. Decidedly so. For everybody who ever put their arms around Whiskey Bill and Handsome Brady, screamed in terror at Knott's Scary Farm, or marveled at the Calico Mine, this book is filled with as much nostalgia as the Farm itself.
