I have been having a great time with Amazon...great to be able to search for very specific books and get them delivered within a few weeeks - i am a patient gal...
but not quite the same as browsing in bookshops...but sadly the bookshops don't really have the kind of books that i want...we are still a Specialist industry as such..
and of course Now, Borders and Angus&Robertson have gone into receivership.
sux actually..
anyway...
some new books:
"The Sharpest Point: animation at the end of cinema"
is not too bad - a couple of very interesting papers etc, and a few rambling personal notes --seems to be from a conference collection (Ottawa??) so has been a useful one in my readings lately
also bought Hayao Miyazaki's biog when i found it in a fab book/comic store in Oslo (of all places!)..
havent got stuck into it yet...
hoping to go to Studio Ghibli museum when i get to Tokyo!!
also bought the next Chris Robinson book...the one showcasing indy (famous) animators...was good... great to read about these people...as good as Unsung Heroes of Animation..
he is great when he is talkig about people he admires...very interesting and positive...he's awful when he's very cynical and snarky (aren't we all), but guess it's important (and we all do it somewhat!)
anyway...more books to follow
