I didn't expect to receive such a large set of books from Santa this year. I did get 11 new books and 3 older copies of the E-Ticket Magazine.Yowza!
I am really looking forward to digging into these books and getting up reviews as soon as possible! I am looking forward to the biography of Roy Disney called Building A Company.

I've read a few of these - Walt in Wonderland is very nice. I quickly lost paitence with Multiculturalism and the Mouse; if you want REAL good stuff of that variety proceed directly to Tinker Belles and Evil Queens. From Walt to Woodstock has a pretty flimsy thesis, but it has the right message. I didn't like it much however. Babes in Tomorrowland looks awesome! Haven't read it yet however...
I'm looking forward to the reviews - there are several in that stack that I haven't read and a few that I hadn't seen before. I picked up 3 Disney titles myself, so while nowhere near you I still have some reading to do.
The Roy bio is fairly interesting as I recall; nothing Earth-shattering but I was just glad he got some recognition.
Foxx--thanks for the comments on the books. At this point, I am getting whatever I can and sorting it out later. I have seens too many Disney-related books go sky-high.
Tangaroo--I am trying! It is definitely an addiction.
Building A Company is one of my favorite Disney biographies. Just because it's about Roy doesn't mean you won't learn a lot about Walt too.
I had the mountains book which I've been dipping in and out of - I've not heard of most of these so am looking forward to your reviews.
I think I may too start picking them up when they are released as they seem to be discontinued quickly and then cost ridiculous amounts of $$
Blogdisney--thanks for the heads up! It does look pretty good.
Mrs. S--it seems like the official Disney titles are the ones that escalate in price. Vinyl Leaves is a great title that is out-of-print (oop), but you can still find cheap copies. But the large format books like the Disney Mountains and Hench's books do go oop and the prices sky-rocket.
I agree with Foxxfur.
Read Walt in Wonderland first. A great book of the early Disney career.
