The Story of Disney: 100 Years of Wonder [Baxter, John, Steele, Bruce C., Staff of the Walt Disney Archives] on desertcart.com. *FREE* shipping on qualifying offers. The Story of Disney: 100 Years of Wonder Review: A Different View of the Disney Story - My wife and I are big Disney fans. We already have a significant library of Disney books; most of these either take a chronological approach, or focus on a particular product (feature animation, theme parks). 100 Years of Wonder approaches Disney as a set of interlocking themes and ideas. How those themes are expressed across the totality of company output are then explored. Especially appreciated is the host of people, many Disney Legends, that converted these themes into reality. As expected, the imagery used in the book is stunning. There are many behind the scenes photos across that remarkable, 100 year history. The text is well written and easy to read. This book is featured as a coffee table book in the Disney Vacation Club rooms. During our recent, 4-day stay I read almost 90% of the book. It is beautiful and I want to finish the read! It occurs to me this book should be a reference or teaching source for any teacher of art, art history or theater. You could build a semester course on this text. Highly recommended. Review: Beautiful book - Very nice table top book and great addition to a Disney collection. Pages are nice quality and illustrations beautiful. Covers lots of material from the begginings of Disney to current times. It was sent packaged well with packing so no damage to the corners! It seems like the packing with books purchased on desertcart has improved lately so I hope it continues.

Disney Enthusiasts!
I bought this book for my dad and he absolutely loves it! He has read several other books about Disney & documentaries, so I was hesitant this book wouldn’t give him any new facts. It has-he said there is a ton of great info and behind the scenes stories that he’s never heard of. If you are on the fence about this book, buy it!!! Awesome purchase for Disney fans.

Great book about the many years of Disney
Great book about Disney. Got it for my wife who's a HUGE Disney fan and she loves it. The illustrations and all the stories make it even better.

Lovely for a collector
The book itself is beautiful - excellent for a lifelong Disnerd such as myself. This is a nice addition to a collection. My complaint is that the dust jacket is easily banged up, such as by poor Amazon shipping. If you remove the dust jacket, the cover under isn’t as stunning.

Livre collector sur les 100 ans de magie Disney. Ce n'est pas un livre pour les enfants mais bien un livre de collection pour tout fan qui se respecte.

No plastic wrap, packaging isn’t even there. I think I got duped and got an opener book. Dirty pages, damaged covers. Buy it if you are not fussy
