The Disney Treasures / Robert Tieman : 5 of 5
3.24.2004 9:55 PM \| Link	Still making my way through the fantastic coffee table books I got for Christmas! This is one of the best Disney books ever made, and certainly the most unique. The concept is that as the book discusses Disney history, beginning with young Walt and onward through Walt Disney World, replicas of various items being discussed are included in the book! Almost every page has a special pocket that includes an accurate facsimile, so you can actually hold and read a postcard written by Walt to his mother, or pages of a letter to his wife Lillian. The reproductions are great - everything is actual size, and even the paper quality is preserved (for example, the first edition of the Disneyland News is included, and actually on newsprint!). Now I know what it was like to have tickets to Disneyland's opening day, because I can actually hold them! The text is very informative, and filled with colorful photo collages. To top it off, the book includes a CD with old radio commercials and lots of audio of Walt. In my opinion, this book should be added to the list of "Disney Treasures" itself!
