Digging deep into the archives of David O. Selznick, this thick volume is full of pre-production artwork: sumptuous scene renderings, luxurious set designs, full-color storyboards, and architectural drawings. The artwork, much by production designer William Cameron Menzies and art director Lyle Wheeler, is magnificent.

This came from the library of Burny Mattinson (1935-2023), an animator, director, producer, and story artist for Walt Disney Animation Studios, from 1953 until his death in 2023. Mattinson directed Mickey's Christmas Carol and The Great Mouse Detective. He was named a Disney Legend in 2008 and was the longest serving employee of The Walt Disney Company, with a career that spanned almost 70 years. His extensive library included numerous subjects and especially large collections of books on Disney, animation, and classic comic strips.
