Whitman: Poetry and Prose (Library of America College Editions)

7 reviews
Walt Whitman

Library of America, 1996

A classic volume in my home
I picked up this book in the Spring of 1990 while browsing in a bookstore. I'm no student of poetry, in fact I only purchased it because I randomly flipped it open and was enamored with the passage I found. I learned that the passage is from "Song of Myself" and have read both that epic poem and the entire collection through dozens of times. I didn't know exactly what I had purchased that day. ...

Leaves of Grass: The Original 1855 Edition (Thrift Edition)

Walt Whitman

Dover Publications, 2007

What More Can Be Said?
It's difficult to think of something appropriate to say about a man who spent his life trying to express the panorama of humanity through the lense of his own heart. From a drop of blood to the grandeur of a shipyard or a continent, he takes all readers on a journey wild with raving, raging, sorrow, longing, humbleness and pride. At once he is totally modern and yet rife with history. For ...

Walt Whitman

Wilder Publications, 2008

What book will you get when you order this?
There seems to be some confusion, both in the editorial reviews and the customer reviews, about what edition is being referred to in this listing. the first editorial review correctly discusses the first edition as shorter and "less bloated" than the deathbed edition. however, the rest of the reviews seem to discuss either edition indiscriminately. the two are effectively different books. ...

Vintage, 2007

Tremendously Detailed Biography of Walt Disney: a Man of Great Vision, a Risk Taker and a Success
If you ever wanted to know virtually everything about Walt Disney and the Disney company, this is the book for you. The author has almost overwhelming detail of Walt's early upbringing and difficult life to his unfortunate early death while in the middle of planning out Disney World and Epcot. This book is not for the light reader on the subject, the biography is massive with over 600 pages not ...

THE BEST AND MOST NECESSARY DISNEY GUIDE
This book is amazing. There are many Disney guides out there and this one has all the info from all the others combined. Yes, it is a huge book and it does not have pictures. There are other books for pictures. This book is jam packed with all the info necessary from the beginning stages of planning your trip to every aspect imaginable at Disney World. I used this book to plan a 10 day ...

Walt Whitman

Penguin Classics, 2005

!!!EMERALD!!!
not only the greatest selling poet who has been dead for more than fifty years, not only the poet whose translations are regularly read abroad, not only the poet whose name has in-spired countless others, not only the poet who freed us from the manacles of rhyme and decapitated the tyranny of meter but also a man of enthusiasm, a titan, a man whose soul floods with belch, fume and quake, a man ...

The Intrepid Traveler, 2004

Great Fun!
If you love Disney, this book is really fun. Even if you have read a lot of other books and websites about Disney, there will be things in the book that will suprise you. My husband and I found that there were lots of new things to learn. Reading the book was a fun way to add a new dimention to our disney travel. We bring it on the plane and read it to get us motivated for our next trip.

The Animated Man: A Life of Walt Disney

17 reviews
Michael Barrier

University of California Press, 2008

Simply the best available resource on the life and work of a genius
Although it had the misfortune of being released after another biography of the same man, written by a much more famous/mainstream author, this is without doubt the better of the two books about Walt Disney. As a matter of fact Barrier's "The Animated Man" is the best book yet written on Disney and his times--and most crucially, his profession. Michael Barrier has impeccable credentials in ...

How to Be Like Walt: Capturing the Disney Magic Every Day of Your Life (How to Be Like)

24 reviews
Pat Williams, Jim Denney

HCI, 2004

A MUST read for any leader!
One of the best "self help" books I have ever read. The author uses Walt's real life experiences to drive his points home. I could not put this book down. You don't have to be a Disney fan to appreciate the messages in this book. And if you are a Disney fan, you will LOVE this book!!

WALT DISNEY: AN AMERICAN ORIGINAL

Bob Thomas

Disney Editions, 1994

Wonderful Insight to a GREAT MAN
If you are a Disney fan this is the one to read. Lots of info about his early days & how Disneyland came to be. He was sure he would die before he had finished what he set out to do. The Disney company was never the same after his death. But is John Lassiter the new Walt..... Let's hope so.

Very enjoyable book for my son. We read a little each night so that when we go on our trip to Disney, he will know what to expect. Also, there is a ton of pages in the back for Autograph's with a place to put a picture next to it.

The Portable Walt Whitman (Penguin Classics)

3 reviews
Walt Whitman

Penguin Classics, 2003

Lovingly written, compiled and edited.
This wonderful edition features a judicious selection of Walt Whitman's poetry and essays, edited by distinguished literary critic Mark Van Doren (who is perhaps now as well known for being the father of Ralph Fiennes' character in 'Quiz Show' as he is for his erudition). Van Doren's preface, itself a famous piece of work, accounts for both the best and worst of Whitman's creations (Van Doren ...
