The Pixar Touch: The Making of a Company

Early last month, I wrote a post on the upcoming book by Leander Kahney, Inside Steve’s Brain, which will deal with Pixar co-founder Steve Jobs. Today I’m profiling (shortly) another very exciting Pixar-related book, this one entitled The Pixar Touch: The Making of a Company, written by David A. Price.

The Pixar Touch will examine in detail Pixar’s history (including the not-so-bright sides, such as the feuding), Pixar’s people (Ed Catmull, John Lasseter, and again, Steve Jobs), and of course, what makes Pixar work as a company.

The book will be published in hardcover by Knopf (an imprint of Random House), and is available for pre-order from Amazon.com for $18.45 USD. The book will go on sale May 13.
