Mattel Disney Pixar CARS: Character Encyclopedia
Disney Pixar CARS: Character Encyclopedia
With contributions by yours truly … so all I ask is you each buy a dozen copies. 🙂
And you even get a metallic exclusive DK Lightning McQueen! I am working on getting a larger photo so I’ll post it as soon as I get it. The Amazon link above has a regular LM photo inserted into the space but it’s really an exclusive metallic paint Lightning McQueen. Plus you get a poster of CARS.
And features CARS not yet released …
Most featured CARS have their own page with different versions/variants shown. When final inside pages are approved, I’ll grab a few pages but if you’ve seen the DK LEGO Star Wars Character Encyclopedia books, you know they are a showcase of design goodness and fun.
And my contribution? I made sure Trunk Fresh Pitty got the 5-pages it deserved …
JUST KIDDING! 🙂
Here’s the back cover …
Disney Pixar CARS: Character Encyclopedia will surely be the greatest book published in 2012.
And that’s just me talking! 🙂
It might win a Pulitzer Prize!*
*(technically, all non-fiction books released qualify, so there)
Amazon doesn’t list a date but I believe it’s due out June 12, 2012 but maybe that has changed slightly.
Is it too much to ask to ask you to buy one for every room in your house?
Okay, how about one opener and reader and one mint on shelf? 🙂
And after you read it, you will shout AUTHOR! AUTHOR!
Alright, I’ll dial it down a little. Just a little. 😆

We are in the presence of greatness!
Amazon has changed the book’s status from pre-order to “unavailable”. (but still gives a late July release date)
Maybe the publisher decided to retool the book long enough to include all the cars. 🙂
Congrats Met, can’t wait to get my hands on it!
Hopefully this means Tamiko and Acer with helmet will be available soon!
I want! Can this be bought at a book store? Or just online?
(MET: Should be available everywhere).
Looks good. Will definitely have to pick one up…. or a dozen.
Looking north to Canada, i looked at amazon.ca and see there are two listing for this.
One with a higher price scheduled for July 2 release and one with a lower price scheduled for a July 24 release.
Is there going to be any difference between these copies? Wouldn’t want to miss out on the exclusive car……even though the higher price write up says it will come with the car and the lower price one shows the cover that Met is showing.
(MET: It does seems strange they are going to release two versions … maybe there’s some Canada rule about “freebies” included with books?).
Way to go, Met! Can’t wait to see it.
Neat. I will wait to see what everyone else thinks of it before buying
Met thats great –
does this book include all the diecasts?
(MET: It’s not 100% complete as the cap was 144 pages … so not a lot of Pitty’s …).
That’s awesome news, congrats! I’m going to pre-order it now!
Congratulations are definitely in order… looks like another one to add to the collection.
Met, are you doing signings? Congrats on the book!
(MET: If you want your book all marred up … 😆 ).
That’s awesome Met, congratulations!! Looking forward to seeing the exclusive metallic McQueen too.
