The highly anticipated book, “Knott’s Berry Tales” by Chris Merritt & Eric Lynxwiler has finally arrived and it’s everything any theme park fan ever wanted a book to be. 100s of never-seen photos, drawings, plans and art.

But wait: there’s more!! Cause when KBTales debuted, there was a whole new park goin’ on, goin on! So there’s all of that, plus the other additions since then, including Wacky Soapbox, Airfield and Camp Snoopy. In addition to the incomparable Crumps, you’ll see cameos by Steve Kirk, @boss_angeles, and many more. This is a book of incredible Merritt!
