This British edition of Jules Verne’s novel ‘From the Earth to the Moon’ was published in 1995 to coincide with the launch of Space Mountain: De la Terre à la Lune at Disneyland Paris. The text comes with additional histories of both Jules Verne and real space travel, with Space Mountain featured prominently throughout these.

The attraction’s logo is featured on the front and back cover, with images and concept art interspersed with the text. The book was both a souvenir and promotion for the attraction, allowing visitors to read the story behind the attraction and of the conquest of space.
