There is one more Disney history book that you should not miss this year: Walt Disney Treasures--Personal Art and Artifacts from The Walt Disney Family Museum.

This is an absolutely gorgeous art book which highlights some of the best items in the collections of The Walt Disney Family Museum.

My favorite sections are the ones that focus on the artifacts owned by Walt and his family, like items from Walt's miniature collection, the saddles Walt used on his trips with the Rancheros Visitadores, Walt's polo paraphernalia, etc.

I was also delighted to discover quite a few photos that I had never seen. 

And the team of the Museum also really did their homework when it comes to the text which is both accurate and informative.

Way to go! This is a book I am bound to read and re-read often. 

DISNEY HISTORY COMPETITION

Ok, let's do something fun! I am launching a Disney History competition that opens now and lasts until Monday at midnight PST.

If you have a document related to Disney history (photograph, written material, piece of artwork, etc.) that you believe I have never seen before and that will really excite me, please email it at Didier.Ghez@gmail.com (and let me know if you allow me to post it online if you win the competition).

On Tuesday next week, I will select the winner, who will receive from Skyway Press the latest 4 copies of "Walt's People," thanks to Skyway Press' owner, my friend and fellow Disney historian, Joe Campana.

I can't wait to discover new pieces of Disney history!

 

A new book about Tyrus Wong to look forward to! Thanks to Dave Mason for the heads up.

Finally! Taschen's massive volume, Donald Duck--The Ultimate History by David Gerstein and JB Kaufman is now available for pre-order on Amazon.

Each month I check Amazon's list of "best books of the month." Two days ago, Disney High, was part of the September list. Recent history for sure, but now I am curious.
