575 pages, indexed, illustrated. Customers please note the book is very heavy and will attract additional postage. First edition, fourth impression. The jacket is damaged at the head of the spine, the closed tears repaired with acid free tape, though the damage is still visible; the front end paper has been neatly cut out. For the rest the book is in immaculate condition - clean unmarked and solid. "Original animations, give the inside scoop on how the studio created the works that have charmed the world.
