2 Volume Set

MINT Condition – Still in the Publisher’s Shrinkwrap

This is a delightful 2 volume set entitled “The Disney Treasures & The Disney Keepsakes” published by the Easton Press. In the Disney Treasures, Robert Tieman selected from the vast archives of the Walt Disney Company, handwritten letters and notes of Walt's, rare character sketches from the 1930's and 1940's, replicas of Disneyland's opening-day tickets, photos, movie theater programs, comic strips, greeting cards, commissary menus, and other treasures, reproduced in facsimile form. Many of these special features are designed to be removable so readers can touch and hold masterfully reproduced bits of history. In addition, the book comes with a 60-minute CD that features previously unheard audio of Walt Disney, radio commercials from the 1950s, and never-before-released sound tracks from the parks' most popular attraction. In The Disney Keepsakes, author Robert 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, the volume is arranged chronologically, as was The Disney Treasures, with each spread covering a different topic in the Disney story. The book also 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.

From the publisher:  “This fabulous set, loaded with hundreds of colorful Disney illustrations, is the ultimate stroll down Disney's memory lane.  Notes handwritten by Walt Disney himself... original character sketches... archival 3-D posters... tickets to opening day at Disneyland... and fascinating behind-the-scenes facts about beloved Disney movies and characters will delight readers of all ages.”.”

Each book measures 12.125” x 10.5” and is bound in full leather boards with raised bands on the spine, gold gilding and gilting, and a built in satin bookmark. The set is in MINT Condition and still in the publisher’s shrinkwrap.
