Disney Books

[erinlees_mommie]

I am new here and wasn't sure where to ask this ...
I am wondering what are your favorite Disney "fact" books?
Like the Hidden Mickey's one...Anything that is trivial and has a lot of Disney information *not like trip planning or about the vacations*
I have the new 2005 Yearbook that just came out and I am wanting some new books like this to read.I never get bored with Disney facts and trivia.

THANKS

Since the World Began (out of print but common on eBay)
Walt Disney's EPCOT Center (out of print but common on eBay)

And try to find some back issues of the Disney Magazine, if you don't already have them.

My most prized Disney fact book is an out of print book by the late Jack Kinney, titled "Walt and Other Associated Characters . . . "

Kinney was a Disney animator in the golden years and you will best recognize his work in the Goofy "How to . . . " series.

In his book, he recounts his Disney days, working with Walt and otherwise being a part of the studio, and the book is filled with his own caricatures of Disney people. Even though he was fired by Walt Disney, his book is not vindictive.

Here's a link to some reviews: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0517570572/103-1011062-4473426?v=glance&n=283155

The new "Imagineer's Field Guide to Magic Kingdom" and Epcot are really good for trivial theme park stuff

Im a Disney book junkie! If I listed all of my books id be in here for about 4 hours.I love anything on Disney ranging from animation,Walt himself, and especially the parks.I really treasure the books so much when I moved into my new house I paid extra for a 4th room just for my books and the displays.I have every Birnbaum book yearly book on WDW since 1985.I have every months issue of Disney Mag since it started and before when it was called Disney news.I have a book from every year I went to WDW starting off in 1971.Its really cool to see the differences in the parks over the years.The oldest I have is WDW picture guide from 71.It has only Magic Kingdom as WDW and its funny to see the cast members costumes looking soooo "brady bunch ". XMAS is coming up so I asked Santa for Birnbaums 2007 WDW and Disneyland Paris from sketch to reality.:sohappy:
