I just received a review copy of Travels with Walt Disney by Jeff Kurtti and I have to say that I love this book.

It is chiefly a book of photographs, which means the amount of text is very limited (but what there is is well-researched, of course).

When it comes to the photos, I had not seen at least twenty percent of them in any art book before. In other words, I discovered quite a bit in this beautiful volume. I was especially delighted to see a great series of WWI pictures of Walt reproduced in it. They had appeared before in the excellent book Service With Character The Disney Studio and World War II by David Lesjak, but the quality of the paper in Jeff's book is much higher, which allows us to appreciate all of the details for the first time.

From my standpoint this book is a "must have." Kudos to Jeff!
