Trade Review
"One of the book's greatest strengths is its rich detail about how a notoriously secretive company goes to great lengths to preserve its image as the home of the Magic Kingdom." Alecia Swasy, New York Times "Here is a book that will change the way that you look at the Mouse. Not only does ol' Mickey have fuzzy ears and a cute, squeaky voice, but sharp teeth and claws too." Catherine Collins, co-author of Celebration, U.S.A.: Living in Disney's Brave New World "The most readable book on a planning topic since Joel Garreau's Edge City... a richly textured narrative."
