MERRITT & KAUFMAN'S SILLY SYMPHONIES BOOK
Here's a book I can't wait to have and hold (and read!). Russell Merritt and J.B. Kaufman have been researching the history of Disney's Silly Symphonies for a decade. This year, in conjunction with a screening at the Pordenone Silent Film Festival (held last week), the book has finally been published. However, I have no idea how to order a copy or from where. In the meantime, we can whet our appetities by reading Merritt and Kaufman's film notes for their Pordenone presentation, and this essay they wrote for the on-line Walt Disney Family Museum.
