Five Upcoming Books (May 9, 2008)

Two weeks ago, I featured links to five new books that will be released in the next few months. Here they are again. (Amazon shows “This title has not yet been released” for The Disneyland Encyclopedia; the publication date is expected to be before the end of May 2008.) These books all look promising. Please check the descriptions using these links. If you decide to pre-order, you’ll get a great discount price, Amazon’s Pre-order Price Guarantee, and a 5% pre-order discount.
