Good find Noob. I actually have that book and it contains just about everything you need to know. I recommend it.

I actually have a copy of the revised version of that book! (although a chunk of pages in the middle are missing... I'm trying to figure out how the hell that happened) I don't even remember how or when my family got it. Your link got me to dig the darn thing up and start nostalgia-cizin over it, so I thank you for that.

I never knew the darn thing was held in such high regard... I always felt the book left out too much important stuff when it came to animation fundamentals, and I was always unsure of the book's approach to character composition/design. (although I did enjoy what the book taught, and I first learned about the line of action from this book, which I still follow/keep in mind to this day when I am composing drawings)

I have the book in Dutch. There used to be a free online version of the entire book on www.freetoon.com, but the site's "Temporarily Down" and has been for like a full year now.

I used to have freetoon in my favorites but it's been down too long so I removed it.
