The official celebratory book published to coincide with the 75th anniversary of Walt Disneys first full-length animated movie. Walt Disneys Snow White & the Seven Dwarfs was first shown to a theatrical audience in December 1937 & brought overwhelming joyous applause from a cinema full of hardened film-industry professionals. In subsequent months it would open internationally happily acclaimed by audiences & critics everywhere as one of the best films of the year if not the decade. From todays perspective its stature is even greater
- repeatedly cited as one of the finest movies of all time by cineastes & academics & still beloved by children & adults around the globe Snow White can be seen as the flowering of an all-too-brief golden age of animation as well as a fascinating document of its time. Such a level of artistic achievement doesnt happen by accident. Walt Disney & a staff of exceptionally talented artists laboured over the movie for four years endlessly working & reworking their scenes to achieve an ever higher standard. The finished film as we know was magnificent. It also heralded a new future for the Disney studio & indeed for the art of animation itself. This book is the first to reconstruct Snow Whites production process in exacting detail & with the loving attention it deserves. Author J.B. Kaufman has devoted years to researching the movies history interviewing participants & studying the marvellous archival imagery that appears in these pages. The result is a work that can be appreciated equally as a piece of cinema history & as a collectable art book a joy for anyone who loves film animation & the magical world that Walt Disney created.

Every weekend thousands of otherwise rational men & women are cursing kicking at divots & smashing expensively milled putters against the trunks of immovable hardwood trees. These players go home in a toxic funk to inflict gloom upon their loved ones until the following Saturday when they rush back to the golf course & do it all over again. In the summer of 2005 Carl Hiaasen picked up a golf club again for the first time in 32 years. He was not the best of players in 1973 & had certainly not got any younger in the intervening period. Undeterred & weighed down by an increasing quantity of golf equipment & game-enhancing products acquired from adverts on The Golf Channel who can see a sucker coming Carl was soon hacking & shanking his way around the courses of Florida & his obsession with the sport was rekindled. Animals were harmed during the making of this book. Over the course of the next 18 months Carls game got better then worse then slightly better then much worse again & he even managed to jinx Tiger Woods. On the way to finally summoning up the courage to compete in an actual tournament himself Carl details the hilarious consequences of his misguided belief that he could actually play the game. We also learn that Justin Timberlake has a better golf handicap (6) than Bob Dylan (17) that Eagle Trace golf course contains not one trace of an eagle & that Mind Drive capsules are not necessarily a good idea. But through all the misery & frustration (save the odd glorious shot) golf took up residence in Carls heart again. Fairway to Hell" is the ultimate tale of the trials & tribulations of the amateur golfer but also the heart-warming story of how the game brought together the generations of the Hiaasen family." ...
