    hey Freak 91, I have the Walt Disney Imagineering: A Behind the Dreams Look at making the Magic Real. AN AWESOME BOOK!! It has great photos of early sketchboards and drawings of existing attractions in their planning phases. Very interesting! I've read it three or four times, and each time I find something new.

    I also have the book by John Hench, and it it very interesting as well. I also have a taste for Imagineering, and it is soooo cool how they come up with all these ideas.

    Jason Surrell's HM book just came out in paperback and I just picked it up with his Mountains book. They are terrific, and in paperback, quite cheap. I got them at Amazon for around $13 each. Not as cool as the hardcover edition, but the info is great. And if you're a fan of Marc Davis and Claude Cotes you will love all of the illustrations in this book.

    The new book by Jeff Kurtti has been released: Disney's Imagineering Legends and the Genesis of the Disney Theme Park. It has biographies of the Imagineers who worked with Walt and created Disneyland. I've just started reading it, so look for a full review to be in the articles section in a few weeks.

    Here's the Amazon link: Amazon.com: Walt Disney's Legends of Imagineering and the Genesis of the Disney Theme Park: Jeff Kurtti, Bruce Gordon: Books

    If you want something a little more "arty", try the Art of Disneyland. It is full of stunning concept artwork.


    I reviewed the book:
