I read a post the other day by someone looking for books about Walt Disney or the Walt Disney Corp. and I wondered how many people have actually read about the history of Walt Disney and/or his company. So I thought I'd post a question to find out.
If you have read any books about Walt Disney, the Walt Disney Company, WD Parks, WD animation or Imagineering, please share the ones you have read and the ones you liked. Thanks
I have read:
The Magic Kindom/ Walt Disney and the American Way of Life by Steven Watts
Walt Disney/ His Life in Pictures
Inside the Dream/ The Personal Story of Walt Disney by Katerine & Richard Green
My favorite of those 3 was Inside the Dream.

I just got Bob Thomas' book, Walt Disney, An American Original and am about half way through it. I want to finish it before my trip that is in 12 days. I'd highly recommend it for any Disney fan.

I have had that book for a few years now but haven't gotten around to reading the whole thing. I used it when I did a research paper in high school on Disney. It is a good book.

I have read Disney War. It was a long read but very informative about things inside the Disney Company

I haven't read any......yet. I bought one for my friend for her birthday..maybe I'll borrow it from her. I do plan on reading one, one day. I'm simply not a big reader.

My son did a report on Walt for a school biography project, so yes we both read about him to research but I don't recall which book we read by now. It was a few years ago.
