Princess Mononoke

Summary: A visual feast of art and drawings from the movie
Review: _Princess Mononoke_ is, perhaps, the greatest animation ever made. This book will allow one to appreciate it even more.

This book presents stills and sketches from the movie in a large format, allowing one to linger over, and truly appreciate, scenes only glimpsed in the animation. The art is presented in the same order as the scenes in the film, with brief plot summaries on each page.

The book also includes some of Miyazaki's early concept sketches (not enough of these, in my opinion), and has appendices on the use of computer graphics in the movie and a brief history of Studio Ghibli (the animation studio that made _Princess Mononoke_).
