Brightman, Homer; Ghez, Didier (editor): Life in the Mouse House published by Theme Park Press; 2014.

Smith, Lella (editor): Marc Davis: Walt Disney's Renaissance Man published by Disney Editions; 2014.

Barrier, Michael: Funnybooks: The Improbable Glories of the Best American Comic Books published by University of California Press; 2014.

Johnson, Jimmy (author); Ehrbar, Greg; Ghez, Didier (editors): Inside the Whimsy Works: My Life with Walt Disney Productions published by University Press of Mississippi; 2014.

Hulett, Steve: Mouse in Transition: An Insider's Look at Disney Feature Animation published by Theme Park Press; 2014.

Thank you, Didier. As always, I appreciate your support. And of course your Walt's people series should be included. They are invaluable to say the least.
