Winner of the 2013 Heritage Toronto Award of Merit A Toronto Album 2, companion edition to Mike Filey’s immensely popular original album, is a photographic journey through bustling Toronto from the late 1930s to the early 1970s. Among the 100-plus photographs is a quartet that shows the remarkable changes to Toronto’s skyline over a half-century. Others capture the 1939 royal visit, steam trains in their twilight years, the evolution of the Hospital for Sick Children, a look at Christmas past, and glimpses of a few landmark buildings we weren’t smart enough to keep. A Toronto Album 2 is a keepsake Torontonians will treasure.

Unbuilt Toronto explores never-realized building projects in and around Toronto, from the city’s founding to the twenty-first century. Delving into unfulfilled and largely forgotten visions for grand public buildings, landmark skyscrapers, highways, subways, and arts and recreation venues, it outlines such ambitious schemes as St. Alban's Cathedral, the Queen subway line and early city plans that would have resulted in a Paris-by-the-Lake. Readers may lament the loss of some projects (such as the Eaton’s College Street tower), be thankful for the disappearance of others (a highway through the Annex), and marvel at the downtown that could have been (with underground roads and walkways in the sky). Featuring 147 photographs and illustrations, many never before published, Unbuilt Toronto casts a different light on a city you thought you knew.

For decades Mike Filey has regaled readers with stories of Toronto's past through its landmarks, neighborhoods, streetscapes, social customs, pleasure palaces, politics, sporting events, celebrities, and defining moments. Now, in one illustrated volume, he serves up the best of his meditations on everything from the Flatiron Building, Casa Loma, and the Cathedral Church of St. James to the Royal Alexandria Theatre, the Palais Royale, Union Station, and the Canadian National Exhibition, with streetcar jaunts through North Toronto and along the Danforth and ferry excursions in Lake Ontario, as well as trips down memory lane with the likes of Mary Pickford, Glenn Miller, Oscar Peterson, and Marilyn Bell, to name only a few. Filey recounts the devastation of city disasters such as Hurricane Hazel and the Great Fire of 1904 and spins yarns about the city's old water tanks, Easter in Toronto, the early Toronto Maple Leafs, the battles over the airport on the Toronto Islands, and how both world wars affected Torontonians.
