ies from Snow White to Frozen. Best of all, the pages are packed with amazing photos and reproductions of concept art, original story sketches, merchandise, a range of movie posters and collectibles.

Victoria Taylor, senior editor at DK
who worked on the book, says, “I love the
detail of The Disney Book and how won-
derfully it showcases the history of Disney.
It was made after an extensive search
through Disney’s archives. We went to
Burbank and Glendale to look through
original artwork, photos and even to the
archive where they keep concept art and
original maps for the theme parks. Tons
of research went into it, and it was diffi-
cult to narrow down which images we
used. The people at the Animation Ar-
chives helped us choose artwork that
hasn’t been published much before.”

Year One, by Nora Roberts. In this novel, Roberts imagines a world in which a sickness spreads quickly, leaving little but chaos in its wake. As magic replaces science and technology, it’s apparent that while some of it is good, dark magic is also afoot. Hoping to escape the authorities who patrol the streets, people start heading west.

Year One (Item #1206275, 12/5) is available in all Costco warehouses.—AK
