I'm not aware of a site that posts values of Disney park collectibles.

I think maybe the book you are referring to is "Walt Disney's EPCOT Center- Creating the New World of Tomorrow", published by Harry N. Abrams, Inc.

I'm curious, how many pages does your copy have? Mine has 128, hard bound but no dust jacket and the photos are printed directly onto the hard cover. Mine is copyright 1982. Perhaps yours is an earlier version.

At any rate, it is a great compilation of a lot of the pre-opening art from the two parks.

For a while now, "Disney" stuff has not been "hot" on eBay, so you are very likely to find some good bargains. Obviously, to a real park buff, this is a treasure far more valuable than what you paid.

There are actually two versions of this book, one has 128 pages and one has 239 pages. I have the 239 page one and it has a dustjacket. $9.75 is a gread deal for this book, but unfortunately that has been the going price on ebay for the last several years.

Now I have to go see what one of these looks like.

I have both copies of the book. They are part of my Disney book collection and I like them a lot. I don't know what they may be worth, but they are certainly enjoyable to someone who likes Disney!

NHMickey,
I assume we're not allowed to post ebay links, but there is one on there right now, the auction ends 12/7.
