I just received my latest package from Amazon - "Walt Disney Imagineering. A Behind the Dreams Look at Making More Magic Real". I don't know whether to call this a reprint of the 1996 edition; an expanded edition or Volume II. Whatever term you choose, it doesn't disappoint.This is your basic coffee table book - over sized, hardback and coming in at almost 200 pages. And, it's jam-packed with illustrations and photos. As I stated many times before, I'm a sucker for concept artwork and behind the scenes photos. When the first edition came out, Disney had six theme Parks. Now, in 2010 the count is at 11 (If my math is correct) and a couple of ocean liners. That's a lot of updating that needs to take place.
These books aren't divided by Parks, but rather are broken-up by concepts. The current book has the following sections: Theory, Tools and Portfolio. Yeah, the chapter headings don't make a lot of sense, but that really doesn't matter. These books are all about the pictures.
