DJ : Short for dust jacket, a protective and often decorative wrapper, usually made of paper which wraps around the binding of a book.
quarto : A term used generally to describe the approximate size of a book, a book that is about 10" to 12" tall and roughly squarish in shape. The term is based on the size of paper traditionally used by book printers which has been folded and cut into 16 pages.
Book summary
An autobiography of the artist, author, children's book illustrator, and cartoonist. Peet describes his difficult childhood and his years in school studying art, but mostly he concentrates on his life as an animator and story editor for Walt Disney Studios, where he worked on such films as "Snow White", "Dumbo", and "101 Dalmatians". Peet eventually left Disney to write and illustrate his own books for children, including "Cyrus the Unsinkable Sea Serpent", "Jethro and Joel Were a Troll", "Randy's Dandy Lions", and "Zella, Zack, and Zodiac". Illustrated with b&w drawings.
