Euclid Beach Park -- a Second Look. Volume II.

Fairview Park, Ohio: AP Books, Inc., (1979). Quarto, hardcover (slick white photo. illus. boards), 229 pp. Fine. From lower cover: With the publication of Euclid Beach Park is Closed for the Season came an effort to document in detail a part of American history. The amusement park in the United States has been a familiar part of everyone’s childhood since the 1880s and has yet to be given the attention this important social feature demands. Response to the first publication about the Cleveland park went beyond any imagined expectation. The park, the subject, was and is important to thousands of people. The concept of a “Second Look” at Euclid Beach Park was only a natural conclusion for the publisher/authorship to draw. Due to the first book numerous new finds were brought forward and fresh new, illuminating, entertaining and meaningful materials were available for this look at the “Beach.” It is hoped that the advent of an unprecedented two books on one amusement park will only serve to demonstrate the significance of the subject of amusement parks and the unique character of that very special place known as Euclid Beach Park.
