From Sketch To Reality

[PigSoldier]

Hi all!

I'm still kicking myself that I didn't buy this book last time I was in DLP I'd really like to have read it before I next go, so that I've got more little things to look out for, but I haven't been able to find a copy anywhere.

Does anyone know where I might be able to get a copy outside of DLP?

Thankyou!

There is a note about the book, and how to get a copy direct from one of the authors, by following the link at the bottom of this page:

It is worth trying to get a copy. It's a fabulous book!

Does anyone know how much this book retails for? I can't seem to find anywhere online with an accurate price and I'm quite interested in buying it. Would it be cheaper to buy it online than at the park?

sorry can't help with anyplace on-line.
I paid €45 as a treat last autumn. The limited edition was €99 if I remember right
I can wholeheartly endorse Rob's views on this

. The limited edition was €99 if I remember right

It was, but worth every penny (or cent )

I think that only 2,000 copies of this book were printed in English, and the same in French, so there isn't going to be many places (online or actual shops) that are selling it. I guess that there are very few copies still available for sale.

I found a site www.mouseshoppe.com offering it for $145 which is a heck of a lot of money!!! eBay might be your best bet. Like you I wish I'd bought it when I saw it on sale at DLP!!

Here's the end of an article by the guy who co wrote the book! It mentions about the book at the end - apparently you can email to find out more. It doesn't mention a price and postage might push the price up a lot - but it might be worth enquiring if you're really keen.

I confirm everything that was said here. This book is absolutely a MUST HAVE for any DLRP fan. It's just wonderful actually !
There were many copies at the story book store (Main Street USA) when I was there 3 weeks ago.

That's good to know. Lucky you, Bonnie, as you're going in 3 weeks. Does anyone know if there's any way to buy stuff from the park by mail order? I wonder how much it retails for?

Di

I remembered that there is a email mailorder address dlp.mail.order@disney.com

It might be worth emailing and asking, although given the size of the book postage could be expensive.

Thanks a lot for that Reid - I appreciate it! I'll email them to find out. Why didn't I buy it when I was there? It's not like me to restrain myself from spending money!!!

That's where I got my copy from - don't remember how much P&P I paid but it wasn't OTT. I was kicking myself for not buying it in the park on our first visit in 2002 and was delighted when I found another way to get it. It came pretty quickly and is an awesome book - the sketches are brilliant and the accompanying text is fascinating - as I'm sure anyone else who has read it cover to cover (I know you all have) can tell you.

Best book ever!

 

[diberry]

Thanks Steve - I'll probably order it then when they get back to me

I remember reading this from cover to cover when we visited sister-in-law on return from DLP.
Don't think I talked much to the family for 2 days Or maybe they didn't talk to me

Finally got a reply to my e-mail! They only have the collector's edition which is 100 Euros plus 30 Euros p&p which converts to a total of £90 which is too steep for me I'm afraid!!! I'll just have to hope they've still got some when we go in November though that would still be £69 without p&p which I wouldn't pay for a book I'm afraid however good it was!!!. Pity they don't have any of the ordinary edition left.

 

[Bexx]

That's a shame Di. Fingers crossed there will be something available in November.

 

[Miffy2003]

Wow Di, that is steep. No chance of anyone clubbing together for you for Christmas or something?

they had about 12 copies in English in the first shop we went in on the left side going down Main Street towards the castle this week

Oh thank you for checking that out Berwyn!! I think I'll have to pass on it though - too many pennies (or Euro cents!!)
