A few Disney books related news.

To start with, University of California Press now has a page that reveals more about one of the books I am most looking forward to read next year, Michael Barrier's new biography of Walt, which promises to be both extremely well researched and controversial.

I also received yesterday an email from Shaun Finnie who mentioned that his book, The Disneylands That Never Were, is now available on Amazon. Please check the What's New section (August 4, 2006) of the Disney Books Network to read a quick review of this book.

Finally, if you browsed Amazon recently in search of new Disney related books, you might have stumbled, like one of the readers of this blog on an upcoming book Directing Animation by Eric Goldberg. Don't get excited: we spoke to Eric and he does not have time to work on this proposed volume so the project has been abandoned.
