Now if we could some new editions from Canemaker and Grant. <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Disney-Official-Encyclopedia-David-Smith/dp/0786849193/sr=8-1/qid=1160634780/ref=pd_bbs_1/002-9106875-7979205?ie=UTF8" target="_blank">http://www.amazon.com/Disney-O fficial-Encyclopedia-David-Smith/dp/0786849193/sr=8-1/qid=1160634780/ref=pd_bbs_1/002-9106875-7979205?ie=UTF8</a>

Originally Posted By alexbook Yeah, I got to browse it a bit. Lots of updates, even some info on some 2006 releases. Unfortunately, I wasn't allowed to keep it on my desk for long--it seems that bookstore employees are expected to sell books, not just read them. ;-) BTW, John Grant has a new title out this month called "Animated Movies: Facts, Figures & Fun."

Amazon doesn't have any description...
Originally Posted By irishfan I'm actually wondering that myself TDG, the copies in the store I saw it in were all sealed. It's not hardback, but it is still a very nice looking book, If I were to Judge a book by it's cover, I would say it was more of a serious fan book.

Originally Posted By schnebs I take back what I said about not having to download updates for a while - there's already a 24-page update for volume 3 on Disney's website! Boy, talk about a thankless job - with all the changes that happen at Disney, can you imagine how much of a chore it is to keep this thing up to date?!?
