I fell in love with a book...
Yesterday, I fell head over heels over a coffee-table book, the kind that's expensive but so amazing that it justifies the cost. I saw the French version in a bookstore, but it was pretty expensive. Fortunately, the original English version is a lot cheaper (like $20 cheaper), so guess what? I want the English copy. :P
The book in question is called The Mickey Mouse Treasures. It's a visual trip through the story of Mickey and the merchandising and derived works that surrounds it, including comic strips, flyers and all kinds of things. Even more amazing is that it contains facsimiles of vintage flyers and cards and other documents like that, making that book not too likely to be available in libraries (too easy to lose the facsimiles).
This week, I will to Indigo and ask if I can order the book (thus getting a 10% discount with my iRewards card), hoping that it'll be the same price as on the Chapters/Indigo website.
Here's a link to the Amazon.com page (it has the Look Inside feature, so that's why I include it here -- the price in Canada is a few bucks more, but not a lot more, fortunately). The Look Inside feature doesn't really give an idea of how awesome the book is -- it's almost like a popup book, in that every page is filled with surprises.
