I don't want to go off topic too much, so I'll make this one my last post on the subject.

I had never heard of this book, but when you posted it and I saw how far it was discounted, I was pretty sure my wife (huge disney fan and artist) would like it. What I didn't know is that she already knew about this book and was so excited for it when it was first released - until she saw the price. She never even mentioned it to me because she figured the price was too much.

So, when she found out I bought it, she was obviously thrilled. It came today and she and my daughter(7) spent an hour just flipping through, looking at the pictures. They'll go back and read the words later...

I have to admit, I can see why this is a $200 book. It's huge and uses high-quality paper and very clear drawings and pictures that I'm not sure appear in a lot of other publications.

Thanks again for posting that link. I'm positive my family would not be an owner of this book if you hadn't.

Can you share the link for the book??

This is getting ugly. Last thing Disney HK needs right now is a boycott from locals or something like that.

I got home from work yesterday and had this exchange:

wife: "oh, this big box came for you today"

me: "oh, that's a book I ordered"

wife: "what do you mean book? like many books? This is large box"

me: "um, yeah, just one book "


you can definitely tell why it costs what it does - really high quality
