They've basically taken all the short stories from the old book and rearranged them to mimic the flow of the movie. I've probably read "In God We Trust.." 20 times so the "Christmas Story" book is quite familiar but oddly refreshing...great light reading! Most of the other books I read pertain to popular culture throughout the 20th Century. Over the last 10 years I've accumulated a pretty nice sized library of books pertaining to motels, diners, gas stations, Airstreams, tikis, etc. These books may not read like "War and Peace" and they do contain a lot of pretty pictures, illustrations and artwork but they are fun and I get a small thrill every time I flip through them!
