Old Guidebooks

How many of you still have old Walt Disney World guidebooks? What kind of retired rides are there of which you have pictures or descriptions that would be fun to discuss? I have a 1997 Guidebook with the Cinderella Castle Cake description. It lists Mr. Toad's Wild Ride, although I know it was no longer there the first time we went-which I THOUGHT was 1996. The Timekeeper and Alien Encounter. I treasure the description of River Country-even though we didn't get to go there.

WOW an unofficial guide that long..er to short! The most recent one I have seems to have more pages and less information than the one I bought in the 90's
