    Thanks, Steve, and XS-Tech, for the kind words. They really mean a great deal to Tim and me. The book is selling more online than in stores, except for certain ones in Disney Parks. It's available on amazon or you can order a signed copy from me at mousetracksonline.com. Thanks again!

    NEW Pete's Dragon, Tron & Camarata CD's

    Speaking as someone who used to shop at a store in Sunrise, Florida called "Sir Arthur Oldies," where the owner used to yell at me almost every time I or my friends or family shopped there -- but we also found some fantastic records there, so I guess it was worth it -- I suppose one person's...

    A special note to Francois, and anyone else who was gracious enough to purchase the hardcover version of MOUSE TRACKS.

    WONDERLAND MUSIC STORE

    As of this very moment, the store at Main Street Cinema at WDW Magic Kingdom has the ability to burn Wonderland CDs but not the album art. That means you'll be paying 16.95 for a nicely-labeled CD in a blank jewel case. Hopefully that might change, but I couldn't say. The store still has the...
