In The Disney Treasures, author Robert Tieman led readers on a tour through some of the highlights of Walt Disney's career and company, from his early sketches and biography to the beginnings of his last projects at Walt Disney World and the building of an international audience for Mickey and friends. In this second volume, The Disney Volume II, Tieman returns to the archives to fill in the history of Disney during Walt's lifetime, fleshing out some of the early stories with more details and interesting side projects and also visiting fan favorites that were neglected in the first volume. Featuring more fascinating and never-before-seen removable facsimiles from the Archives, Volume II will be arranged chronologically, as was The Disney Treasures, with each spread covering a different topic in the Disney story. Likewise, the design will capture the same sense of whimsy, fun, and elegance that the first volume did. Volume II will also be produced at the same specs as the first volume, but will not include a CD. Volume II will finish the history of Disney during Walt's lifetime, positioning The Disney Treasures
As many of you might have assumed, this is the sequel to Robert Tieman's "The Disney Treasures" book. While the subjects and removable media aren't always as interesting (nor frequent) as "..Tresures" (this IS a sequel, after all - hence the 4 stars, vs. 5), it is still a wonderful book that every Disney fan should own. Highlights: It has two sections on Disneyland (1950-1959 and 1960-1965), and some of the movies featured are Alice in Wonderland, Peter Pan, Jungle Book, Dumbo, and others. It even touches on some rarely known projects from Disney. Again, this book focuses on the Walt Disney era (pre-1966), though this one does have one page/section about post-Disney.
I only wish the author would do an ENTIRE book like this on Disneyland!
But the bottom line is, if you enjoyed The Disney Treasures, you will enjoy this one, too!
One of the must-have books for Disney fans, it's so wonderful one, full of surprisings.

I loved the book! Every little detail was precious and important to the book. And every appendix was nice. Every one who's interested of Disney, should read this book.
