From time to time someone asks for Disney reading recommendations. That's a complicated question, because it there are a lot of different topics under the heading of "Disney," so I'm working a handful of different lists of books in different categories that I am familiar with. The first step was for me to catalog all the Disney books I currently own.
Here is that list, which covers everything from travel guides to cookbooks to biographies of Walt Disney to Cast Member tales to the history of the Disney corporation. Add in some books I've borrowed from the library and a bunch more on my personal wishlist and you can see why I need to break my recommendations list up into categories if I want to help people find books they may enjoy!
