Book Release
In 2010, the biography You're the Director... You figure it out: The Life and Films of Richard Donner was published by BearManor Media.
Scriptmag described the book as an "engaging portrait of a warm-hearted (if occasionally gruff) man who can justly be considered the modern equivalent of Victor Fleming and Michael Curtiz – a highly talented, professional director of motion pictures who has thrived in the studio system and made some pretty good pictures to boot."
The Directors Guild of America called the book a "a compelling study of an ebullient, ballsy risk-taker who was a director even before he was aware of it" that "ably captures Donner’s joy in doing a job he loves."

Famous quotes containing the words book and/or release:
“I haven’t read one book about
A book or memorized one plot,
Or found a mind I did not doubt,
I learned one date. And then forgot.
And one by one the solid scholars
Get the degrees, the jobs, the dollars.”
—William Dewitt Snodgrass (b. 1926)
“The near touch of death may be a release into life; if only it will break the egoistic will, and release that other flow.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
