Fairly disappointing read.
Tough subject matter. Very well researched.
Not a good book.
One of the best books of 2015.
Splendid. A "must have" like all the other volumes of this series.
A beautiful addition to a great series.
One of the best souvenir books to date.
Some new information.
Some good stories.
Fascinating and meticulously researched. A "must read".
A good book if not a great one.
This is such a lavish and detailed catalog, that it has to be included in your library of books about the history of Disneyland.
If you have to read everything ever written about the Mickey Mouse Club, then this very short new Kindle book is for you. It contains the fun story of the visit of the original Mickey Mouse Club to Australia, complete with rare photos of the visit. Definitely not a "must-have" but an entertaining read for the MMM-fanatics.
A masterpiece.
A wonderful autobiography. A "must-have".
The definitive volume on a fascinating subject. Hundreds of illustrations.
One more volume in a great series.
A fun, short read. The adventures of one of Toky Disneyland's electricians.
Finally an in-depth biography about Tenggren. In Swedish, unfortunately.
Catalog of a 2011 exhibition of Disney cels. Really not a "must have". Only cels in here, nothing more exciting.
A few good essays, but too expensive for what it is.
A fun read.
Not a must-have.
The autobiography of Goofy's voice, written in the '40s. One of the most expected books of 2015.
The Art of Funny features inspired gags from the creation of all of Pixar’s films to date, from Toy Story to Monsters University, bringing together never-before-published illustrations and doodles from the depths of Pixar’s archives.
One of the very best Disney history books released in 2014.
A very important book. Long overdue.
While not very in-depth, definitely a must-have.
Full of delightful stories.
Another great installment in Jim Korkis' famous series.
Jeff did his homework and ot shows.
I love the fact that this book deals not just with the history of Walt's Garage, Adler's acquisition of same, etc., but also with the inner workings of Disney corporate in the 1970s.
I love this series by Chronicle Books.
This series is consistenly perfect. This book is no exception.
A fantastic reprint of the 1930s Serbian comic version of Mickey Mouse.
Very comprehensive.
Another great addition to Paolo's series about Italian Disney comic book artists.
A nice little book for beginners.
Totally off-the-beaten-track book reproducing the Mickey Mouse comic book from a WWII prisoner of war. In French.
The interviews and articles in Walt's People represent a treasure trove of research for Disney scholars—but more important, they're entertaining, down-to-earth stories that will please any fan eager to learn more about Disney. You don't need a Ph.D. in Disney Studies to enjoy the recollections and anecdotes from such Disney luminaries as Admiral Joe Fowler, Bill Justice, Joe Grant, Eddie Sotto, and over half a dozen others.
An absolute materpiece. John Canemaker's best book to date!
Splendid new instalment in a marvelous series.
A good book on an interesting subject.
A very important reference book by a great Disney historian.
Another very enjoyable book by Jim Korkis.
The autobiography of Mouseketeer Bobby Burgess.
The most awaited book of 2015.
A very important book. Long overdue.
Stunning catalog of the Walt Disney Family Museum exhibition. A must-have.
The fascinating autobiography of Disney story artist from the Golden Age, Homer Brightman.
The autobiography of Ed Catmull. A great read.
Beautiful book, although a little light text-wise.
The complete story of Walt's trip to Europe in 1935. Most of the information in this book is brand new. Most of the 60 illustrations have never or seldom been seen before. My best book to date, fruit of close to 25 years of intense research.
The autobiography of the President of the Walt Disney Music Company, written in 1975 and released for the first time. A fascinating look at the world of Disney business and "Roy´s boys."
The fascinating autobiography of Disney story artist from the Golden Age, Homer Brightman.
The best history of the early days of Disneyland ever written.
The long-awaited autobiography of composer Robert Sherman.
One of the best Disney History books of 2013. The best history of Disneyland to date.
A "must-have" if there was one.
The title says it all. An excellent book.
Great book. Up to Finch's usual standards of excellence.
Contains a great section about VIP's Disney career.
Extremely disappointing. Just a collection of synopses.
One of the very best Disney-history books of 2013.
A beautiful homage to a fascinating human being.
Another fantastic instalment in this "must-have" series.
The book we had all been awaiting about Tyrus Wong!
Not much about Disney, but still a must-have for animation art and animation history enthusiasts.
The second volume in Jim's fascinating series
A great book, in Finnish about early Disneyana in Finland. Wonderfully illustrated.
A great book from one of the best professionals in the field.
Beautiful small book about the creation of the Dream and Fantasy ships.
Contains a great section about VIP's Disney career.
Volume 13, the first published by Theme Park Press with an improved layout and stringent editing, features such Disney legends as Roy E. Disney, Blaine Gibson, X Atencio, Fess Parker, Don Iwerks, Bob Moore, Tony Baxter, Floyd Gottfredson, and over twenty other Disney notables who reminisce about careers spanning from the 1920s through the present.
One of the best Disney History books of 2013.
Another masterpiece from Pierre Lambert, this time about Sleeping Beauty.
The highly anticipated autobiography of WDI's former President is flawed in many ways, but still a "must have."
Floyd's autobiography. Extremely enjoyable like all of Floyd's other books.
A seminal book and a "must read."
Beautiul book about an enjoyable movie.
Excellent ebook. Huge amount of never-seen-before material.
Beautiful catalog in Italian. Lots of never-seen-before documents about Disney comics.
The biography of one of the voices of Jiminy Cricket. Not much of interest in this one.
One chapter about Morton's experience at the Disney Studio.
Great history of the famous publisher of Disney comics. Written in Danish.
Written in Italian.
All of William A. Ward Disney stories collected in this great book. In Italian.
Written in Norwegian. Definitely a must-have for anyone interested in the history of Disney outside of the US.
A great reference book.
Great history of the Disney U.
excellent autobiography of actor David Frankham which he helped edit. The chapters on David's work for Disney, on One Hundred and One Dalmatians and Ten Who Dared, was obviously the highlight of the book as far as I am concerned. I also enjoyed very much the foreword by our good friend Brian Sibley.
A weird book in Italian about Aurelius Battaglia.
The ultimate book about the making of of Song of the South (no illustrations) plus some marvelous essays about other Disney "mysteries". A must-have.
Definitely worth picking up. Well written, well edited and full of new information.
Nice little monograph about the Italian Disney artist Giorgio Cavazzano. In Italian.
A nice little book about Disneyland hidden details. Nicely researched.
A beautiful product, but a slightly weird concept.
Nice addition to this fun series.
No illustrations. In Spanish. Very well researched.
Too verbose for me.
The fourth volume in a really great series.
The autobiography of Rolly Crump. A "must-have."
A beautiful book about a great movie.
The link with Disney history is not very strong, but this is a must-have.
An excellent, short read, based on interviews conducted by Chuck Schmidt with various Disney Legends including Van France, Marty Sklar and a few others. Worth picking up.
A new version of the bible about the history of Disney comics in Italy. In two volumes this time around. A "must-have." Written in Italian.
The incredibly rare autobiography of former Disney background artist Don Douglass.
Nice to have for true EPCOT fans.

A great reference book. In Italian.
All the paintings by Barks are collected in this huge and beautiful art book. Written in German.

An excellent read. A good reference book.
This volume of interviews should focus on Disneyland Paris. In French.

The catalog of a major exhibition.
Nice little book.
A very good read.
Cute souvenir book.

The long-awaited autobiography of Imagineer Bob Gurr. A "must have".

A beautiful book about a marvelous movie.
Another masterpiece from Pierre Lambert, this time about Sleeping Beauty.
The autobiography of Ron “Dreamfinder†Schneider.
This book about Carl Barks is a good read.
The text is well-written. It is beautifully illustrated. It feels like a very long issue of National Geographic.
The Disney-related art of a great Disney collector and delightful artist.
This other obscure book by Kent Durden includes a few stories focusing on the eagle Lady and her role in several Disney productions.
This extremely obscure book by Kent Durden includes two Disney-related chapters focusing on the eagle Lady and her role in several Disney productions.
The most anticipated Disney history book of 2012.
The catalog of the Snow White exhibition held at the Walt Disney Family Museum.
Huge and splendid art book about the making of Sleeping Beauty.
The memoirs of Walt Disney World’s original stroll-around Dreamfinder and Figment character, as well as the voice of Dreamfinder for parts of the Journey Into Imagination attraction.
One of the very best Disney history books of 2011.
The excellent autobiography of John Tishman, supervised, among other things, the building of EPCOT. A whole chapter in this book is dedicated to his experiences with Disney.
The book includes interviews with Fess Parker (Davy Crockett), Tommy Kirk (Old Yeller, The Shaggy Dog), Ann Jillian (Babes in Toyland), Billy Mumy (Rascal), Arthur Hiller (director of Miracle of the White Stallions), Marta Kristen (Savage Sam), James Drury (Pollyanna, Ten Who Dared), Eddie Hodges (Summer Magic, The Happiest Millionaire), Peter Brown (Summer Magic, A Tiger Walks), and many more.
Only the first few chapters of the Cathy Sherman Freeman's autobiography deal with her father's (George Sherman, Head of Publications at Walt Disney Studios from the late 1950s to 1974) career at Disney, but Cathy's life is a beautiful and moving one.
A short park-exclusive. Fun to read.
The detailed biography of Herb Crisler, one of Disney True-Life Adventures cinematographers.
The biography of Herb Crisler, one of Disney True-Life Adventures cinematographers.
An excellent book about the famous Italian Disney comic book artist Luciano Bottaro. Written in Italian.
A great homage to Italian Disney comic book scenarist Carlo Chendi. Written in Italian.
One of the very best Disney history books of 2011. Written in Italian.
Nothing new. Written in Italian.
Beautiful book with very little text.
A stunning book, which only lacks a little bit more of historical information.
A weird book, but a great reference for some of us.
The autobiography of one of the stars of Mary Poppins.
The autobiography of the chief of police of Orange County. Contains quite a few pages about the early days of Disneyland.
Walt's People - Volume 11 features in-depth interviews with Ray Aragon, Frank Armitage, Brad Bird, Carl Bongirno, Roger Broggie, George Bruns, Ed Catmull, Don R. Christensen, Andreas Deja, Jules Engel, Joe Hale, John Hench, Mark Henn, John Hubley, Glen Keane, Ted Kierscey, Ward Kimball, I.

Beautiful art book.
Well research and well written.
Interesting, but too expensive.
Devoid of interest.
No interest.
The long-awaited autobiography of Imagineer Bob Gurr.
This book about Carl Barks should be quite a good read.
Nothing is known about this book yet.
Full of astounding documents, photographs and information. A "must-have".
One of the 5 best Disney history books of 2011.
An excellent biography.
A few good essays about Disney in this book.
Excellent biography of a great Disney background artist.
A good book about a bad movie.
Worthless psychobabble.
Can't wait.
Probably interesting, but very expensive.
The long-awaited autobiography of Robert Sherman.
One of the best Disney history books of the last decade. Not to be missed in any way, shape or form.
The "book" has been released as support material for a course that Professor Logan teaches at University of Central Florida. It offers a very interesting history of Disney's live entertainment in the parks, through Logan's and some of his colleagues' recollections. If you decide to order it, it will reach you as 144 not-bound pages (As mentioned it really is seen by Logan as support material for his course, not as a book - although that's what it really is after you bind it).
The tool I had been looking for for years: a place where one can find detailed credits of all the Disney shorts (or at least all the shorts created for general release), including most or all of the animators who worked on each short, the layout artists, the story men, etc!
Very serious Disney-related history at its best.
A very astonishing book about Disney's representative in Spain in the '40s.
If you enjoy Don Rosa comic books (and if you don't it's certainly because you have never read any of them yet), then this new book edited by Paolo Castagno (in Italian and English) is probably for you. Paolo has gathered the very best historians of Disney comics for this volume, which will probably become a "must have."
Pretty well done.
The text is well-written. It is beautifully illustrated. It feels like a very long issue of National Geographic. My only reservation is the fact that it does not feature any image about the making of the movie. In other words no photos of men and women actually shooting it. And no words about pre-production work.
Although this book is aimed at kids, it contains a few good bits and pieces about former Disney Character Model Department artist Wah Ming Chang.
This is basically a new, completely updated and expanded version on Don's previous book, Dancing Corn Dogs in the Night.
Can't wait to read this definitive biography of Art.
Without a doubt one of the key Disney history books of 2011. Includes interviews with X Atencio, Sharon Baird, Joyce Belanger (early Disneyland cast member), Bobby Burgess, John Catone (early Disneyland cast member), Marc Davis, Lou Debney, Van France, Dave Hand, Ollie Johnston, Bill Justice, Walter Lantz, Lance Nolley, Frank Thomas, and Frenchy de Tremaudan.
A good collection of excellent essays about the history of Walt Disney World.
A long and fascinating interview with a Disney Legend Joe Potter. Too little about Potter's Disney career, though.
Lowry Tague (known at the time as Lorey Tague) was one of Disney's artists during the Laugh-O-Grams years. Unfortunately the book contains only a few lines about his Disney career.
If you read Italian and enjoy the history of Disney comics, here is another book that might be worth getting.
A collection of very good and very-well-researched.
Uninteresting.
Uninteresting (in three parts).
Uninteresting. Written in French.
This volume of interviews should focus on Disneyland Paris.
Walt’s People - Volume 10 features in-depth interviews conducted by Bob Thomas with James Algar, Bill Anderson, Ken Anderson, Roger Broggie, George Bruns, Harriet Burns, Larry Clemmons, Bill Cottrell, Marc Davis, Marvin Davis, Edna Disney, Lillian Disney, Roy E.

In Italian. The author explores the connections between Uta, Margravess of Meissen, a mediaeval aristocrat, patron of the Cathedral of Naumburg, and Ghrimilde, the evil queen from Disney's Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. These connections are inspired to the author by the strong similarity between a statue in the Cathedral of Naumburg and the famous Disney villain during a trip in 1999.
Boring.

I want this book, today!

One more good book by a great collector.
Written in Italian, this books is especially interesting due to the interviews with Diane Disney Miller, John Hench and Marty Sklar.
Written in Norwegian. Mostly sociological theory about Disney, save for a good chapter about the author's visit to Barks.

Considering the subject and its authors, I can't wait to put my hands on this one.
Published by Knopf, this book is likely to be one of the "must-read" of 2008.
Fouth installment in an excellent series.

Probably some uninteresting socio-babble. We will see.
If this is not a book about the Kingdom Hearts videogame, it could be interesting.

A book about the motels that surrounded Disneyland? Weird subject, but why not.

A story of Disney songs development that will include large sections about the Disney songs that "never were". Heavily illustrated. Definitely be a "must have" for serious Disney historians. Hard cover book with around 300 pages. The initial print run is limited to 1000 copies. If the book is successful there will be a second volume that will cover the Disney productions after the death of Walt.
This book was given to cast members and never sold to the general public, making it very difficult to find.
Charles Ridgway was Walkt Disney World main press agent for many years and this book is a very enjoyable read.
This is defintely a "must-have". Neal Gabler had full access to the Disney Archives for this biography and the quality of his research is equivalent to that of Steve Watts'.
Winnie viewed by various Disney artists. Similar idea to The Art of Mickey Mouse. Nice to have.
The rest of the series is excellent. This book should be no exception.

Another biography of Walt for kids.
Not only is the research in-depth, the book itself is well written and a page-turner. A "must have."
Slim text (in French) but beautiful artwork, as ever. The book covers Disney's animated features from Snow White to The Jungle Book. For really hard-core fans, unfortunately, the number of truely "never-seen-before" documents is slightly disapointing.
The catalog of the best Disney exhibition ever exhibit, taking place at Le Grand Palais in Paris starting on September 15, 2006. Contains a large quantity of marvelous never-seen-before artwork as well as in-depth texts by Charles Solomon and Robin Allan among others. A "must have."

The quality of Thomas´research is excellent. This book is a must have for Barks enthusiasts.
A first foray into a fascinating aspect of Disney history, that would deserve a great art-book or an in-depth exploration by a serious Disney historian. An excellent start, though. Pure text and no images for obvious costs and rights reasons, unfortunately.
Stories from cast members. Fun, but not very interesting.
If you have the book by Jason Surrell about the Haunted Mansion, this one is not really necessary.
Volume 1 was excellent, this one is too.
A bit technical, but the number of former or current Disney artists contributing to it (Eric Goldberg, Floyd Norman, Tony Bancroft,...) make it worthwhile for readers that are not also animators.
The small catalog of a French exhibit of modern art with Mickey as its central theme. In French. No much interest.
Similar to the other Pixar "making of" books released earlier by Chronicle Books. In other words: excellent.
An excellent reference book for Disney record enthusiasts and collectors that unveils a minor but quite interesting aspect of Disney history.
Not much that does not appear in other Disneyana guides.
Short, but excellent. Only available at the parks, unfortunately.

Might be a bit technical, but the number of former or current Disney artists contributing to it (Eric Goldberg, Floyd Norman, Tony Bancroft,...) should make it worthwhile for readers that are not also animators.
Good book about a no-so-good show.
Not a fascinating subject, but the book is extremely well done and beautifully illustrated.
A great series.
The equivalent for comics of what the Walt Disney Treasures DVDs are to regular Disney DVDs. A must have for any Disney comics enthusiast. Contains good editorial material. Should hopefully be the first of a very long series.

The biography of a man that served for many years as director and cameraman for the Walt Disney wildlife productions. Very specialized reading.
A biography of Walt in Hungarian. Nothing new.
The first biography of Walt in Hungarian.

Knowing the quality of Jason's previous books, this one should be fascinating.
Interesting title! A book about Disney Character Voices?

Walt's People - Volume 2 includes interviews with artists Friz Freleng, Grim Natwick, Frank Tashlin, Ward Kimball, Floyd Gottfredson, Herb Ryman, Frank Thomas, Eric Larson, Woolie Reitherman, Rick Rich and Glen Keane. It is 100 longer than volume 1 and should delight even the most serious Disney historians.
The complete Disney Good Housekeeping Pages. A "must-have". One of the most fascinating Disney books published this year thanks to all the extra material collected by David Gerstein.
Part biography of Bill Tytla by his wife, part scrapbook book, this huge book (about 1000 pages) is extremely difficult to classify or to explain. Let´s just say that Disney historians had been awaiting this document for years and that it will not disapoint them. Let´s add that, because of its high price ($165) and its very specific focus (Bill Tytla) it is advised that only the most serious Disney historians buy it To do so, send an email to Howard Green.
This book is part of the special DVD set released in 2005. It deserves to figure in this list as it features a nice little section about the making of Cinderella, including a few interesting documents and quotes.

Knowing Tom, this book will be a must have.
Monique's "making-of" books are always enjoyable reads. This one is no exception.
A pocket sized book chock full of design details, anecdotes, and trivia about WDW's Magic Kingdom. Wright goal was to create a book that would be just like walking through the Magic Kingdom with an Imagineer. An excellent book.
The Memoirs of the former CEO of Euro Disney. Too slim and shallow, unfortunately. Avaialble only in French.
A reference as important to collectors as the Tomart´s Disneyana.
I hesitated for years to include this book on the Disney Books Network as it contains only 16 pages about Eyvind's carreer at Disney, but those are important pages that will be of use to quite a few Disney historians.
One more sociological book about Disney. No comment.
The most complete guide in existence about Disneyana Ingersoll wrist watches (from 1933 to 1939). Very specialized but a great reference for collectors.
Can't wait for that one to be released. Should be full of amazing documents about that great unproduced project from the war era in addition to reprinting the original book illustrated by Mary Blair and Bill Justice.
This book is, in essence, The Disney Treasures, Volume 2. As marvelous and worth having as Volume 1!
The third volume of humoristic cartoons by animation legend Floyd Norman. His cartoons are more hilarious than ever. An extremely fun read.
A very nice book about the Disneyland Hotel and all of its details.

Full of never-seen-before concept art and photos. A "must-have". Only available at the parks, unfortunately.
The best book in Carlene's great series.
An extremely fun read for Disneyland enthusiasts.
The only complete catalogue of Disney stamps I am aware of. Ends in 2000, unfortunately. Written in Spanish and English and published in Barcelona.
Let's admit it, this is also a book I would have loved to create. A "must-have" without hesitation.
The complete Disney Good Housekeeping Pages. A "must-have" for many Disney art enthusiasts including myself.
This book is, in essence, The Disney Treasures, Volume 2. Considering the quality of Volume 1, one can not help to be ecstatic about the news!
Monique's "making-of" books are always enjoyable reads. This one should be no exception.
The Memoirs of the former CEO of Euro Disney should contain quite a few fascinating stories about the financial side of the project. Avaialble only in French, unfortunately.
Intriguing title.
Intriguing title.
Oh no! An other sociological book about Disney.
I was hoping to be the one writting that book, but that thought apart, considering the quality of Mark and Leslie past works, this is bound to be a must have.
Considerring the quality of Ted Hake´s auctions and knowing that this book will be 800 page long, this is bound to become a reference as important to collectors as the Tomart´s Disneyana.
This should be an extremely fun read for Disneyland enthusiasts. Can´t wait to add it on my own bookshelf.
The Walt's People series is a collection of the best interviews ever conducted with Disney artists.
Contributors to the series include noted Disney experts Robin Allan, Paul F. Anderson, Michael Barrier, J.B. Kaufman, Jim Korkis, Mike Lyons and John Province.
Walt's People - Volume 1 includes in-depth interviews with artists Rudy Ising, Dave Hand, Bill Tytla, Ken Anderson, Jack Hannah, John Hench, Marc Davis, Milt Kahl, Harper Goff and Joyce Carlson and discusses among many other subjects the Disney Studio before Mickey Mouse, the challenges in directing Snow White, the making of Destino with Dali, the process that led to the production of 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, the frustrations and joys of Marc Davis and Milt Kahl and the creation of It's a Small World. It contains hundreds of new stories about the Studio and its artists and should delight even the most serious historians and enthusiasts.
A good read to summarize the situation at Disney by mid-2004.
A sad story, but some good anecdotes by a former Disneyland creative director.
A "must-have" for all Disney train enthusiasts.
A shallow book written in Spanish. No interest.
If David manages to find a publisher for this tremendous book, his work will become the absolute reference on those fascinating pieces of wartime Disneyama.
Walt's People - Volume 2 will include interviews with artists Mel Shaw, Grim Natwick, Frank Tashlin, Ward Kimball, Floyd Gottfredson, Herb Ryman, Frank Thomas, Eric Larson, Woolie Reitherman, Rick Rich and Glen Keane.
Read the description of this book on Amazon and you will certainly be as puzzled as I was. This could be a very fun item to get, though.
One of the books officially celebrating Disneyland's Golden Anniversary, this will definitely be a "must-have".
Should be a fun read, if not a great read, in a nice little series. No "historical" value to be expected, though.
A "must-have" by a great writer about the most stunning Pixar movie ever.
This revised and expanded edition covers all of the major projects since the 1995 edition, including the films Lilo & Stitch, Brother Bear, and Home on the Range, as well as Disney's collaborations with Pixar: Toy Story I and II; Monsters, Inc.; Finding Nemo; and The Incredibles.

I wonder what this book will add to the ones that have already been published on Beauty and the Beast, The Lion King and Aida. It has a chance to bring new art and new information on the table, so it might be worth keeping a look on it.
