  • Excellent reading for Disney fans

    A wonderful book, written by someone who admired Walt Disney and all he accomplished. There were so many good things about this determined man, that the unflattering things seemed human and normal. I enjoyed the book and learning so many sides to this amazing man. If you are a Disney fan, I highly recommend this book. In fact, I bought a second book for a family member.

  • Not what was advertised

    This book was advertised as a hardback... but it was a paperback. I will keep it but am disappointed that it wasn't hardback...I like hardbacks much better!

  • Excellent quality item!

    My husband loves Walt Disney and received three books on his hero. He enjoyed them all, but this one actually brought him almost to tears with excitement! He sat and started reading and telling me all that was in there almost before we finished unwrapping presents! Thank you for a great quality item.
