When I mentioned this book on Mineral King last week, I was wondering how much of it was about Disney and how well researched it was. I have now received it and can confirm that 75% of it is about the Disney project and that it is extremely well researched. If you are interested in this period of Disney history, this is a book you must get, although you need to know that it is written from the perspective of someone who strongly opposed the project.

Hi - I am really glad to discover this. great job!
ReplyDeleteDiddier, Are there many photograths in the book - specifically any of Walt at the location?
ReplyDeleteOnly three Disney-related photos: Walt with some officials from the region; Walt and a very generic concept art from the project; concept art from the interior of a hotel. Don't buy the book for the illustrations.
ReplyDeleteBut you'd recommend it for its content overall?
ReplyDeleteNo doubt whatsoever. It's a great book when it comes to Disney history.
