I need to know how many scrolls, what they were, and what they were about? The authors first name is Og, Last name escapes me.
Answer
The Greatest Salesman in the World is a best-selling book by Og Mandino, an author whose books have sold over 50 million copies. It was first published in 1968, and re-issued in 1983 by Bantam. The 128-page book is a classic guide to a philosophy of salesmanship, telling the story of Hafid, a poor camel boy who achieves a life of abundance. A hardcover edition was published by Buccaneer Books in June, 1993.
If Mandino's suggested reading structure is followed, it would take about 10 months to read the book.
The instructions are to read Scroll I (Chapter 8) three times a day for thirty days straight. Only after completing the thirty days of reading Scroll I, should you continue to Scroll II (Chapter 9) and so forth through Scroll X (Chapter 17).
The Book's Philosophy
Mandino composed The Legend Of The Ten Scrolls. They are:
Scroll I - Commitment
Scroll II - Love
Scroll III - Persistence
Scroll IV - Miracle
Scroll V - Time
Scroll VI - Emotion
Scroll VII - Laughter
Scroll VIII - Value
Scroll IX - Action
Scroll X - Guidance
His primary message was to "do it now". In the marking of Scroll IX, "I will act now" is written 18 times. While his messages did have Christian undertones, it was still a message of repetitive actions to build good habits.

Anyone know a really great book on Secrets of Walt Disney World?

I can go to Amazon myself and look up books under this subject. I want to know if anyone has come across a book that specifically has some more uncommon "secrets" of the park. I've been enough and read enough to hear a lot.
Answer
I have a large amount of Disney books, and some are great, others not so great. As far as secrets go, the absolute best book on the market is called "The Hidden Magic of Walt Disney World". I thought there were secrets that I knew that would never appear in a book, but this one has them. It's the most concise & up to date Disney Secrets book out there. Definitely worth purchasing. It is only a book on secrets in the park, I should add.
If you like to read about secrets from the movies, which I know isn't Walt Disney World, but is still interesting, pick up "Mouse Under Glass". It goes through various movies & talks about bloopers, hidden things in the movies, and more. It's an interesting read, I learned a lot of little things from it.
Another good park secret book is the Hidden Mickey guide, currently on it's 4th edition. It will tell you where virtually every hidden mickey, or other hidden things, are in the park. It's more limited to just hidden things, rather than all secrets, like the first book I mentioned. It's fun to have though, so you can hunt for hidden mickey's in the parks.
Lastly, there's a series of 3 volumes called Walt Disney World Trivia. They aren't just simply trivia books. Each answer is a paragraph long, explaining some kind of Disney piece of trivia. Also, through the book are random blurbs called "Did you know?" that tell you a fact or secret. I was amazing by a lot of things in the book.
You can get any of these on Amazon:
