Technically this is an exhibit book, not a regular book like we've been reviewing here, but I want to try posting from my new Surface Pro. It gives a cursory overview of the parallel lives of Disney and Dali, then includes copies of some of their correspondences, and ends with Destino, which was the most interesting part. There were plenty of sketches and paintings that I've never seen, including several storyboards and some great photos of Dali working on the project. It's a shame that Disney bailed on it. His son completed it and even though it got an Academy nom, I never felt it had the same essence. Disney would've had it hand drawn in the manner of Fantasia, not a CGI thing, which somehow cheapened the vision. But it was a fun catalog and will sit well in my Dali library.
