And we have a cover drawing for Walt's People - Volume 27, courtesy of John Musker.

I expect the book to be released in about 6 weeks. More soon.

Volume 1 and Volume 2 of Keith Scott's long awaited book Cartoon Voices of the Golden Age, 1930-70 have just been released. Those are critically important reference books for animation historians. I just ordered my own copies. 

This is slightly off-topic, but this new book by my friend Adam Abraham (author of When Magoo Flew: The Rise and Fall of Animation Studio UPA) is a great read. Since it contains quite a bit of material about Howard Ashman, Alan Menken and The Muppet Show, I do not think it is inappropriate to mention it here. Some of you will really enjoy it.
 

J.B. Kaufman and I had a lot of fun this weekend at D23 Expo. All advanced copies of "The Origins of Walt Disney's True-Life Adventures" sold out. So did the 40 copies we had of "The Making of Walt Disney's Fun and Fancy Free." 

There are just a few copies left of the first printing of "The Making of Walt Disney's Fun and Fancy Free" available via Stuart Ng Books. If you want to get it, I would advise you to get it today. We do not know if or when there will be a second printing.

We will receive the bulk of the copies of "The Origins of Walt Disney's True-Life Adventures" in early October. I will let you know when that happens. Thanks to all of you for your support!
