The softcover edition of The Pixar Touch goes on sale this Tuesday, May 5. I got my box of author's copies a couple weeks ago--always the most fun part of the writing process. I think Zack Wagman and his colleagues at Vintage Books did a nice job with it.
About the Book
The Pixar Touch: The Making of a Company is a chronicle of the history of Pixar Animation Studios and the “fraternity of geeks” who shaped Pixar's story.
“Thumbs-up. . . . Full of fascinating characters, all struggling—in classic Pixar film style—to overcome seemingly impossible odds.” —BusinessWeek
“Price, a tough, unsentimental reporter, ferrets out lots of backstage drama from fresh sources, weaving a commendably unvarnished history.” —Entertainment Weekly
“Unprecedented detail about the notoriously press-shy company’s workings, a story that abounds with lessons for business people and creative artists alike.” —Wall Street Journal
