Book Update and The WDW Radio Show

I received the following book as a birthday present from Brian at Magical Aperture.



It is one of my favorite vacation collectibles (besides ties and mugs). Each year, Disney puts out two (and sometimes three) different versions of their Pictorial Souvenir. Usually it is a large format, hardbound book (think 9" x 11") and a smaller paperback book. As part of the 100 Years of Magic Celebration, Disney released a larger-format paperback with a much nicer binding. I have the larger hardbound book, but not the paperback. These books are a definite purchase for every vacationer. It is a great way to look back at trips from long ago!



This week, on the WDW Radio Show, Lou has an amazing interview with Disney Legend Richard Sherman about the Sherman Brother's unbelievable career. They briefly discuss the book Walt's Time - From Before to Beyond. It is an amazing look at their music. You can read my review here.

As a small gift to everyone out there, click on the image below to see a higher-quality scan of the art from the cover of the book. It would make a great poster!

Love the book reviews, George. Keep them coming. Also thought the same of Lou's interview this week. Wow! I really liked how Mr Sherman conveyed the idea of how important story was to their song writing. That is consistent with every aspect of the studios. From Music to animation to rides in the parks, "if you have a good story, then you have a good product."
