Do you guys know of any books on animation that manage to be as fascinating as Illusion of Life? I had been reluctant to read any of the books segments besides the ones focusing on animated motion. But after finally bothering to work through the remainder of this masterpiece, I've come to love this book more than 95% of the stuff that's residing on my shelf. Is there anything comparable to it in scope, quality of prose, and sheer amount of production insights? In my collection, the only books I'd consider similarly extensive are Dimensions of Dialogue (Jan Svankmajer), Bill Plympton's books if combined (though he's a bit of an annoying faggot) and Sneg na Trave/Yuri Norsteyn no Shigoto (books on and by Norsteyn). However, neither of which are as competently written, nor are they able to entertain and educate similarly well.
