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 review novels to make money, because it is easier for a sluggard to write an article a fortnight than a book a year, because the writer is soothed by the opiate of action, the crank by posing as a good journalist, and having an airhole. I dislike it. I do it and I am always resolving to give it up.”
—Cyril Connolly (1903–1974)
“The shallow consider liberty a release from all law, from every constraint. The wise man sees in it, on the contrary, the potent Law of Laws.”
—Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
