*NEAR MINT* 1957 TWA Disneyland Park Brochure
"Your Stairway to the Magic Kingdom of Disneyland"
This piece of TWA advertising dates to 1957, 2 years after Disneyland's opening.
16 PAGES of BEAUTIFUL IMAGES (14 pgs + front and back covers).  Disneyland's 5 original lands and early classic attractions are featured and detailed in playful text and graphics. There is also TWA flight package info and a page on California travel.
VERY RARE!  -- I could only find one online article written about this guide.  And until recently, I had not seen one on eBay in the years I've been casually collecting.  There are 1955 TWA guides out there occasionally, but they don't seem to be quite as rare and don't have as many pages or wonderful 1950's graphics as this one does (check the one in my other listings for comparison).
NEAR MINT CONDITION!  ***The FRONT COVER has overall age-related discoloration, a few spots near the top and what looks like a rubber band indentation across the front (like this piece was on the top side of a stack?).***  The rest of the pages are similar in appearance to a mint condition one that I owned -- original gloss, bright colors, crisp corners, no extra creases or bends.  The guide lays absolutely flat!  I may have been the first person in a long time (or ever) to open this one as I took the pictures.  I did not open pages all the way in order to preserve the guide's crispness.  This was part of a travel agency's stock that had been stored away for years.  The travel agency's address is stamped on the back cover.
This piece is definitely one for the discerning collector.

I had a question about yellowing, so I changed a couple of pictures, placing the guide against a truer white background.  I believe the off-white (cream) page colors (on interior and back pages) to be original -- there are still contrasting brighter white parts of the illustrations (Mark Twain boat, some of the TWA plane images, building windows, etc.).  And the page backgrounds are a consistent color from all edges to the center.  But I'm not an expert, so please judge for yourself based on the pictures provided.
