The authors behind Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs: An Art in Its Making also interviewed the artists and animators behind the movie. How about including their interviews with your book series?

I wish things were that simple!

To emphasize Didier's request: these books aren't cheap to produce, and the best way to ensure more of them is for Theme Park Press to sell more of them. To make that happen, take a moment and leave a review on Amazon.

The Shaw book is a good example of how one negative review (by Didier's nasty stalker "A. Gass" - real name Doug Stone) can poison the well. Without enough legitimate reviews to counteract it, sales slump, Mel's family wonders what it did wrong, and the prospects for additional books grow dimmer.
