Title: Wonderful illustrations; so-so text
Review: An utterly gorgeous book that succeeds on the strength of its dozens and dozens of pieces of beautifully-reproduced artwork, mostly from Mickey's golden age (1928-1940). But Lambert's text, stiffly translated from the French, has little that's new in terms of historical fact or artistic insight, and it's peppered with small errors that should have been caught. Is this book worth a hundred and fifty bucks (or even Amazon's $105)? I'm not sure; I cashed in $85 worth of Amazon gift certificates to get it. But Mickey aficionados will probably get a big kick out of it based on the art alone, despite the high price and disappointing text.
