The Pixar Touch
The making of a company
David A Price
| June 4, 2009
By Reg Nordman
I so love it when a business journalist writes a good book. Good fact checking, clear prose and concise language.
Much of this story has been covered in the Steve Jobs autobiography. This book gives a better treatment of the founders of Pixar, before Jobs came on the scene, right up to Disney buying Pixar. The treatment of Jobs is quite kind (unlike how he treats others). If you are interested in how large animation projects really come together, or like me you just have to know things, this is a really great read. 262 pages which should do you for a RT one coast to the other, or a long weekend read.
Lesson learned; great things are not done by reasonable men.
