If you've read the first TWW script book (also very good), you know that this one has a very high reputation to uphold, one it delivers on wonderfully. It features:

Isaac and Ishmael - The post September 11th episode (Sorkin very
clearly explains also why he felt it had to be done)

Bartlet For America - Leo's hearing related to the MS

Posse Comitatus - Bartlet mulls over killing Sharref

20 Hours in America I and II - Toby, Josh and Donna get lost in Indiana and mull over what makes a president.

Holy Night - Toby is visited by his father, former employee of Murder Inc.

Commencement - The first daughter is kidnapped right after graduation

25- After Commencement, Bartlet relinquishes power (Sorkin's last episode)

Volumes could be written on the elequence of Aaron Sorkin, and these episodes serve as 8 prime examples. The book includes many scenes cut or shortened in the aired episodes, allowing even more Sorkin goodness then you knew existed. In the introductions, Sorkin talks frankly about his drug arrest, the Isaac and Ishmael contreversy and Rob Lowe's departure from the show. The intros are full of the same sardonic self-deprecating, even sometimes serious words we've come to expect from Aaron Sorkin. A definate must have for the West Wing fan, the budding scriptwriter, the writing fan, and just the public at large.
