Summary: A short fun delightful tease into Disney's secret world
Review: I am still waiting a detailed history book about the Disney Imaginers
Or maybe a book about how they think. I was hopping that this book was it, but it wasn't. This book is a collection of essays, thoughts, and fun tid-bits about the idea
Of imagineering written by the Imaginers themselves. Its fun to read and give a teaser glimpse into Disney's best keep secret.

Summary: Insightful, but wanted more!
Review: I was surprised by this book. It is very helpful into gaining insight to the Imagineers creative process, but I was hoping for more anecdotes on how they solved some of their most difficult design challanges or how they went about designing some of their parks. There are a few stores included, but I wanted more! If you want more information, artwork, and pictures of Disney attractions, purchase Walt Disney Imagineering: A behind the Dreams look at making the magic real. Otherwise, it is a great book and tells you how to apply the Imagineers creative thought process to your own life and work.

Summary: Entertaining, But Could Use More Substance
Review: This book is basically a collection of short essays on creativity written by Imagineers. It does contain some gems (and a few entertaining stories), but doesn't give away any real Imagineering secrets. And the illustrations are cute. My bottom line is it comes across as a multi-part pep talk.

Summary: It made me weep...
Review: This book made me weep. It isn't fair that there is a place to work like this. I spend my days having my ideas ridiculed. The book is enjoyable and inspiring. Recommended. Wish more companies treated their employees like Disney does their Imagineers.

Summary: From Figment to Imagination
Review: This is fun collection of essays from Disney's Imagineers. Its a small book, but truly inspirational. I would have liked a more in-depth book on the Imagineer's thoughts on creativity, so I was a little disappointed.
But I have to admit, that this book was fun to read and did trigger many creative thoughts. The creative energy of the Imagineers did come through in their essays.
I hope there is a future book, which does for the Disney Imagineers what "The Art Innovation" did for IDEO. Only 4 stars because I really was hoping for more substance, but I would still recommend this book to someone looking for quick burst of creative inspiration.
