Disney Book Collecting 101

About this episode

Brett Nachman discusses the process of Disney book collecting with guests Emily McDermott and Courtney Kern.

Emily McDermott and Courtney Kern of the late Book of the Mouse Club podcast have long been on Notably Disney, helping review a variety of books over the years. But one question has never quite surfaced in these conversations: how do you become a Disney book collector? Such is the spark of today’s dialogue in which host Brett Nachman welcomes on Emily and Courtney to untangle the process of Disney book collecting, from figuring out which books are worth getting to how to get good deals on books.
