Good news: My proof copy of The Pixar Touch arrived in the mail today. I'm just about to start reading it in it's proper order, so I can't say much yet, but it's looking very promising.Has a lot of information I hadn't read or heard elsewhere previously. And quite a few pictures from Pixar's early days, also new to me.
Anyways, I will be writing a full review later on, once I finish reading the book in its entirety. So stay tuned for that.
One more thing: Folks, please, send in your questions for the author. I got only, like, three questions all day today, and just between you and me, they were pretty lame. So, please. You must have something to ask! :)

i liked to infinity and beyond, its licensed by pixar so why should I buy another book??
Well, this is a different type of book. It's kinda like the difference between an authorized and unauthorized biography.
From what I've read so far (about 65 pages), Touch goes much further into details about pretty much everything.
I'm enjoying it so far...
Hi
A few questions for your interview.
Does David Price have any take on how much Disney has changed Pixar after the merger? The appearance of Cars 2, as many have noted, seems more money driven then story driven.
Pixar is always painted as a very happy place, but I'm sure some people haven't fitted in. Has Mr Price talked to any disillusioned ex employees and if so was his opinion that they maybe found Pixar a bit cliquey or was it that they perhaps weren't, for want of a less cliched phrase, 'team players'?
Does he see any signs of Pixar spreading themselves too thin, especially with the rumoured moves in to live action?
Thank you for you questions, Bob.
I appreciate you taking the time to send them in.
Ok, I want to buy this book, but I don't want to get ripped off since I already have To Infinity and Beyond, can you post something you read in this book that you feel is exclusive, or never before seen?
Martini: I really don't want to give away the book, but...
Have you heard the one about John Lasseter hanging up the phone on Katzenberg (from Dreamworks)?
Or what did Steve Jobs really think about Pixar (then a high-end computer hardware maker) producing animated movies?
Those are two examples.
Just wait, my review is coming next week. I'll be posting my take on the book then.
