I can't pick!

For a school project, I'm supposed to create two advertisements for a book. I want to do one on Disney, but I don't feel like the Unofficial Guide has enough literary merit to get the teacher's approval. Does anyone have any ideas on a book I could do this project on?

Thats a hard one... there are so many Disney related books. I just finished reading Bob Thomas' Building A Company: Roy O Disney and the Creation of An Entertainment Empire. (Click Here) I learned quite a bit. There are also a bunch of Disney cookbooks out there and they always sell so an ad campaign would work, though I don't know how much literary merit there is in them.

Well, unless there is a restriction that it has to be a work or acknowledged literary fiction, go for The Unofficial Guide.

The book tigsmom mentioned is a good one - an interesting read of a familiar story, but from a perspective we don't usually see.

 

[Mr Bill]

That looks like an interesting book, and it's definitely going on the Amazon wish list. I think I'm going to do an ad hyping up the release of the Imagineering Field Guide to Epcot, though.

My first choice for a Disney book would be Mouse Tales. If it didn't have to be Disney, then Black Hawk Down! Best book and movie ever! :lookaroun

Not enough literary merit? What? We slaved over every word! It's the freaking Canterbury Tales of guide books! ;-)

If it helps, we just won the American Library Association's "Travel Series of the Year" award for 2005. That might help with the literary merit angle.

Congratulations on the award! I'd also definitely use that to help lean that way if the project wasn't due today and I hadn't gotten so far with the Field Guide to Epcot already.
