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.”

IF YOU'RE looking for
your book club's next
pick, we recommend
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. Travelers include Chuck,
a tech genius trying to survive an offline
world; Arlys, a journalist who uses her
skills to record the truth; and Rachel and
Jonah, who are determined to keep a
mother and three infants alive.
Year One (Item #1206275, 12/5) is
available in all Costco warehouses.—AK
THERE’S NOTHING like
having a toddler around
to help me rediscover my
love of all things Disney.
(True confession: The
Little Mermaid is my favorite.) While my niece
flips through Disney picture books, you’ll find
me looking through The
Disney Book, from DK.
This beautiful slipcase deluxe edition
of The Disney Book includes an original
filmstrip and a limited-edition print from
the movie Brave. It explores more than ;;
years of the Disney dynasty, serving as the
definitive guide to everything from theme
parks to cruise ships. Of course, you can’t
talk about Disney without mentioning the
films, and this book covers animated mov-
