A Different View of the Disney Story
My wife and I are big Disney fans. We already have a significant library of Disney books; most of these either take a chronological approach, or focus on a particular product (feature animation, theme parks). 100 Years of Wonder approaches Disney as a set of interlocking themes and ideas. How those themes are expressed across the totality of company output are then explored. Especially appreciated is the host of people, many Disney Legends, that converted these themes into reality. As expected, the imagery used in the book is stunning. There are many behind the scenes photos across that remarkable, 100 year history. The text is well written and easy to read. This book is featured as a coffee table book in the Disney Vacation Club rooms. During our recent, 4-day stay I read almost 90% of the book. It is beautiful and I want to finish the read! It occurs to me this book should be a reference or teaching source for any teacher of art, art history or theater. You could build a semester course on this text. Highly recommended.

I LOVED THIS BOOK!
I ordered this book the day that it was released. AND I LOVE IT. First, it is just gorgeous. It brought back everything I remember as a kid going to the movies (It brought back Thumper, Creulla, Mowgli, and the scariest villain there ever has been, Kaa). They're also memories with my kids, Cars and Monsters, Inc. The writing is smart and crisp. The author was given personal access to Disney's private archives. Who gets that?? WOW! The history is just incredible. Already ordered another copy for my sister and my niece and nephews.

Slip cover is dirty
The book itself is well done but like so many others the slip cover looked used and dirty there is a sticky spot on the front.

Got an old or used book.
No plastic wrap, packaging isn’t even there. I think I got duped and got an opener book. Dirty pages, damaged covers. Buy it if you are not fussy
