On Animation.com Store

Top 10

I've boiled the entire store down to ten essential books. If you're getting into animation, these books will give you a pretty well rounded education right out of the gate. And you can refer back to them for your entire career. These are the books I have enjoyed reading and studying the most, and this list is not definitive. An obvious essential, which isn't listed, is Don Graham's, "Composing Pictures." This book is currently out of print, but you can download it from my blog (www.onanimation.com) by clicking the Composing Pictures label on the side bar.
