If you love the Donald Duck comic stories created by Carl Barks (who doesn't?) and want to read them in the format that they deserve (the massive Taschen format) then this new book is definitely for you.

And it comes with an introduction that my friend Jim Fanning, which, as always, is a real joy to read.

Be warned though... you will need a bigger bookshelf or even a bigger house to store this gigantic volume.

Once again Taschen outdid themselves.

I just received my copy of Tim Foster's new book, Spaceship Earth--The Definitive History. Once again Tim did a wonderful job with this project without access to the Disney Archives or the WDI Archives. I am really, really glad to own this book.

Is this "The Definitive History"? It is not. For this we will have to get access to the WDI archives and to read the memos and other documents related to the creation and construction of the attraction.

But is this book a marvelously detailed starting point through which I learned a lot? The answer is an unconditional "yes." Way to go Tim!
