Imagineering Books

Post by Bright Scouter » Wed Jul 01, 2009 6:48 pm

OK,

I have a son that has finished his first year of college. He is in Plastics Technology for his associate degree and is doing Product Design Engineering for his Bachelor program. He is very interested in eventually becoming an Imagineer. He is thinking about trying to get into the college program next summer and fall and then do the professional internship after his bachelor's degree is done. He is very interested in Imagineering books. We got him one on this last trip down there a few weeks ago. The Imagineering Workout, Exercises to Shape Your Creative Mind. Does anyone else have any good ones that they can recommend. He has a birthday coming up and we thought any good books like this would be very appropriate.

Thanks!

Grumpy Pirate,

His son can improve bottles for the rum for you and the extra large bottles of Dr. Pepper for Polar 33. No more running to the roach coach outside the office buildings on the daily basis. ;)

I would think it would be best stored in your gut.
