Great Book about Walt Disney

[jillyjoey]

Don't know exactly where to post this but wanted to share -- I just finished reading "How to Be Like Walt" by Pat Williams. It's mostly a biography but with motivational inserts as well. This was a great read and if any one is looking for some Disney reading this is a must!!!

Another great book is Walt Disney An American Original by Bob Thomas. It is an authorized biography so has a lot of information that others were not able to get.

I really like Walt Disney and the American Way of Life by Steven Watts, a scholar. It's an academic read (but not dense) and places Walt & Disney in its larger social context.

My favorite is Remembering Walt, Favorite Memories of Walt Disney, by Amy Boother Green and Howard E. Green. A wonderful collection of personal stories and memories from real family and employees of Walt's. Really felt like you got an insight of the true man.

I think I may run to Barnes and Noble Tomorrow to see if they have this book. Sounds good, and if it is anything related to Disney, it is worth reading! Thanks for the tip!!!
