I imagine most of you have some kind of Disney World book collection. I was wondering what were your favorites. I'm just curious because I'm always looking to add to my collection.

My personal favorite is "Walt Disney World Imagineering." It's a book I picked up at the bookstore in the Studios. It has a lot of great sketches and some wonderful insights.

Oh, man... I have a bunch.

This post will remind me to post them later!

I don't have a lot of WDW books that don't deal with trip planning. That said, I really like the Imagineering field guides. In the case of the MK and DAK, I found a greater appreciation for those two parks after reading the field guides.

A second vote for this book. I love it. It's a must have IMHO.
