This is a great find! Thanks for sharing Steve.
Wow! These are great, I feel like Im going back in time when I read these. Now does this book only cover the history of animation or does it also go into drawing and cartoon production.
I also just wanted to thank you so much for making the $100,000 animation course. I just finished it recently and throughtout last week posted a before and after and it shows how much it pays off. I'd be very happy if you see much I improved.

Super swell stuff, Steve!
Some of those drawings look VERY FAMILIAR!
Great fodder for those of us who are copying stuff for the Preston Blair lessons.
Add my "Thanks!" to the pile.
Wow! Great chapter! This book is a real treasure.
