In the bookstore near the Celebration hotel I saw Ross's The Celebration Chronicles and another book by a New York Times couple who had lived there for a while. Both gave the town mixed reviews, and I was told that both were selling well.
There was also a book by some Hoover Institute people slamming Disney for corporate involvement in various vices. The clerk said a customer had been surprised that this critical book was sold on Disney property. "But," the clerk said, "this property is in the USA, and besides the book sells, so what are you going to do?"
We can ask the same about Celebration itself.
