Crystal Memories is the first and most comprehensive book ever written about Crystal Beach Park. First published in 2004, it has since gone into a third printing. The book is coffee-table size and includes 199 pages of black and white photos and 4 pages of color photos. Crystal Memories is a complete history of the park, from its humble beginnings as a religious campground in 1888 to its final season in 1989.

Chapters concentrate on the S.S. Canadiana and her sister ship, the S.S. Americana; the construction and mysterious interiors of the Laff in the Dark, and the change of the Magic Carpet to the Magic Palace. Included are rare photos of the making of Hall's suckers and the building of the Crystal Ballroom.

Special sections list the rides and attractions operating on the midway during those 101 years and the statistics of the amazing roller coasters of Crystal Beach: Harry Traver's terrifying Cyclone, PTC's speedy Comet, the scary Wild Mouse, the compact Flitzer, the smooth Galaxy and the venerable Giant Coaster (yellow coaster). Praised by Western New York Heritage Magazine, Crystal Memories is the perfect gift for any Crystal Beach fan.
