DISNEY'S
YEAR BOOKS
With the exception of the first one (1981, resized here to fit the gallery),
all the year books up until 1990 were the same size as the regular Wonderful
World of Reading books,
thereafter they increased in size.
In addition to the Year Books were these 'First Year Books' - I found these
somewhat of a puzzle as most were not only identical in cover design
(using the cover from the 1991 Year Book) but also had identical contents, year
after year. That is, until the 2003 First Year Book, which was identical
to the 2003 Year Book! However, I am grateful to Jen Federico for confirming
my suspicions that as they were subscription-only books, joining the Disney
book club
meant the first year book you got was titled 'first year book' and thereafter
you got the regular ones. What year you joined in determined which was your
'first year book'.
This would explain why there are 'first year books' for several years until
obviously Grolier got fed up with it.
Finally, there is this separate Year Book published by Grolier in 2008 which
was different to the 2008 Year Book published by Scholastic
